TAMPA, Fla. — The Eagles found a way to put a somewhat positive spin on another Bucs touchdown.
After Bucky Irving scored from a yard out midway through the third quarter to put Tampa up 30-14, Chase McLaughlin lined up for a seemingly routine extra point that should have made it a three-score game.
Instead, Isaiah Rodgers came flying off the edge and blocked the attempt. Fellow cornerback Kelee Ringo picked it up and raced all the way down the right sideline to make it a 30-16 game.
EAGLES RETURN THE BLOCKED XP FOR TWO POINTS.

Rodgers and Ringo each had special team blunders earlier in the game when they ran into their own teammate, returner Cooper DeJean, on separate occasions, one of which led to an Eagles turnover.
