This NFL special teams play should be shown to every high school football team

Washington safety Tyler Owens produced an extraordinary defensive stop during a special teams sequence against Philadelphia, maneuvering through would-be blockers to level return specialist Will Shipley with a powerful hit. Despite Owens delivering what is being hailed as an early candidate for highlight of the year, the Commanders were edged out by the Eagles 24-22 in a tightly contested Week 1 matchup.

The contest featured a critical fourth-quarter, 12-yard touchdown grab from Jayden Daniels to Stefon Diggs that trimmed the deficit to 17-15, though Diggs later drew a damaging penalty, and head coach Dan Quinn saw a subsequent two-point try come up empty. Philadelphia ultimately held on to secure the narrow victory, sealed in part by a late defensive stop from former Texas tackle Moro Ojomo, while quarterback Jalen Hurts, tight end Dallas Goedert, and practice-squad elevation Britain Covey also contributed in the opener at Lincoln Financial Field.
