Let’s face it: When an afternoon at the football stadium includes the nationally televised playing and then slow-motion replaying of a man on all fours pretending to be a dog urinating on the field, the bar for stranger occurrences is set pretty high.
Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field was an odd one, everyone would have to agree. That includes the delirious Eagles fans who stuck around after the team blew two leads and allowed 24 fourth-quarter points. Their reward was an improbable 27-24 win over the New York Giants when rookie fill-in kicker Jake Elliott made a 61-yard buzzer-beater of a field goal that nuzzled the inside of the right upright.
