Eagles WR Darius Cooper turns would-be interception into TD with wild catch vs. Rams
This was an Eagles touchdown instead of a Rams interception.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Darius Cooper had a remarkable catch against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. In a crucial moment of the game, Quarterback Jalen Hurts was pressured while rolling to his right. Instead of getting an on-target pass, Hurts floated a ball short, giving Rams safety Quentin Lake a chance to intercept.
Lake leapt at the goal line, but couldn't secure the ball, which bounced off his fingertips and into Cooper's hands as he leapt behind him. Cooper managed to catch the ball despite the chaotic landing and secured an unlikely touchdown, marking one of the wildest catches in NFL history. This stunning play gave the Eagles a 13-3 lead in the first half, proving to be a pivotal moment in their critical matchup against the NFC hopeful Rams.
