It takes a lot to impress Donnie Jones.
He’s 37. He has played with five franchises and punted in the playoffs for two of them. Even after all of that, he’d never experienced anything like the Eagles’ 27-24, last-second win over the Giants on Sunday.
“In 14 years of playing football, that’s probably one of the greatest wins, if not the greatest ultimate team victory that I’ve ever been around,” Jones said. “It took a collective group effort. Nobody gave up.”
The afterglow made his stubbled face (and head) shine, and it was a joyous moment, but Jones’ analysis was unbiased.
