VIDEO: Fan Captures Incredible Angle of Carson Wentz's Laser TD to Miles Sanders
By Andy Loughmiller
The Philadelphia Eagles remain alive in the NFC East after escaping with a narrow victory over the Washington Redskins in Week 15 of the NFL regular season. The victory was due in large part to Miles Sanders, who finally broke out after Boston Scott carried the load in Week 14 against the Giants. Carson Wentz punctuated it with this unbelievable touchdown throw on the run to Sanders in the third quarter, and the end zone angle of the play, shot by a fan, is glorious.
Sanders managed to uncover himself as Wentz was forced out of the pocket, and the North Dakota State product delivered a strike to him for the score. This new perspective of the touchdown really helps to emphasize just how incredible this throw was.
It also gives you a better look at Sanders as he breaks off his route and finds an opening for the scramble-drill TD. Not too shabby for a running back.
Wentz and the Eagles were without several key members of their offense on Sunday. 23 of the quarterback's 30 completions went to tight ends or running backs against Washington.
Philly needs to win out in order to capture the division and punch their ticket to the playoffs. If their signal caller can continue to play like with a depleted offense, they will have a great chance to defeat the Cowboys and Giants in the coming weeks.
