Sometimes you have to give credit when credit is due. The Philadelphia Eagles love to run a lot of tricks plays, so it’s shocking that this team constantly falls victim to them as well.
With the Dolphins fighting hard and looking to close out the season on a high note, Miami just took the lead over the Eagles, on a trick play that saw the team’s punter throw a touchdown pass to the kicker, Jason Sanders.
OMG!!!! A kick to the Gut!

The odd formation saw Miami punter Matt Haack lined up behind the center in a super spread formation. After taking the snap, Haack rolled left before flipping the ball to kicker Jason Sanders in the end zone to give Miami a 14-13 lead after an extra point.

The formation was one that the Eagles clearly weren’t prepared for.
