The play also served as proof of Davis’ hard work on conditioning this offseason. The third-year defensive tackle slimmed down and improved his stamina this offseason thanks to a Peloton routine. Davis even offered to help fellow lineman Jalen Carter improve his own conditioning after reports surfaced that the other young defensive tackle could be in better shape.

Davis, now in his third season with the Birds, not only preserved the Eagles’ victory but also showcased ELITE athleticism for his size. The blocked kick and ensuing touchdown capped off a thrilling finish, instantly cementing itself as one of the signature highlights of his young career.

With the win, the Eagles improved their record to 3-0 on the 2025 NFL season, while Davis’ performance went viral across social media, drawing praise from teammates, analysts, and fans alike.
