LeGarrette Blount Hammers TD Home Against Former Team


MINNEAPOLIS - wasn't brought to Philadelphia to be an explosive, big-play back.

Don't tell that to him. Especially against his former team.

Blount scored on a 21-yard run in the second quarter to give the Eagles a 15-3 lead. Quarterback Nick Foles took the ball from under center and handed off to Blount who went up the left end and had a huge hole at the second level. The Eagles utilized six offensive linemen on the play with Isaac Seumalo on the field.

In the first quarter, his 36-yard run preceded wide receiver Alshon Jeffery's touchdown.
