Football is a game of inches. No one knows that better than Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson.
In the closing minutes of the Eagles’ Sunday Night Football win against the San Francisco 49ers, Jackson tried to give the Eagles an advantage of several inches when the Niners were just a few yards from the end zone. After the referee set the ball, Jackson nudged it back with his foot like it was the most casual and normal thing for him to do.
Jackson is 30 and is in his ninth NFL season.
