DeSean Jackson's Last-Second Punt Return Beats Giants: Video
DeSean Jackson c
apped off Philadelphia's incredible comeback against the
Giants Sunday with a last-second, game-winning punt return for a touchdown. With the game tied at 31 after the
Eagles had scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, Jackson fielded a punt at his own 35 and raced the distance as time expired to give his team a dramatic 38-31 win.
Jackson, who's come under fire for his sometimes over-the-top touchdown celebrations, ended the run by sprinting across the Giants' goal line without crossing the plane, then firing the football into the crowd once he finally scored.
Philadelphia (10-4) took complete control of the NFC East with the victory, dropping the Giants (9-5) to the cusp of being outside the NFC's playoff picture.

Stupid. Just plain stupid show boating.
stop hatin'...the man'z havin' fun..it iz a gsme pj..
In total agreement--what a complete lack of class or sportsmanship. A score is never enough with these idiots--they're never satisfied until they rub their opponent's noses in it. And no, I'm not a Giants fan.
really exciting game . Great team effort . Best game of the year . Brett Farve , oh yeah . I remember him
He was running out the clock jackwagon.
If you stop it at the 13 second mark you will see the clock at 0.0 and he isn't even at the 20 yard line yet. So, no, he wasn't running out the clock, he was show-boating as usual. He said after the last time he did that he wouldn't do it anymore. What a liar and poor sport he really is.
You r nuts. He was killling time on the clock so NY would have no time to mount a comeback. Well....he may have been showboating a little, after all they did comeback and win :P
He ran down the end zone line and looked back to make sure time was out. The only classless things are ignorant posts by disgruntled fans.
Running with the ball held above your head like that is called showboating.
giants, as usual in BIG games, C-H-O-K-E!!!!
Its gotta suck to be a Giants fan.This was new miracle in the Meadowlands II for the Eagles.The police better guard all the bridges around Manhattan.Thanks for the Dodge, guys.
the red faced hob gobblin seemed upset.if i were a giants fan i'd shoot myself they suck!!
What the heck is number 28, I think it's Danny Ware doing standing in the end zone watching Jackson dance around before he crosses the goal line. Was he confused, looks like he didn't know what to do.
Talk about a hot dog. it should have been ruled no touchdown because time ran out and he was just being like 95% of them HOT DOGS. What in the world is happening to this sport they act like super humans when they make a tackle, where are they when they miss one, right running to the side line to hide
I thought the game isnt over until the last player with the ball is either tackled,scores,or goes out of bounds.You should go back to watching soccer,Awesome.
Figures. another giants fan that dosen't know the rules of the game.
What a great game and a good play for the Eagles. In a game like that you dont want to give the other team any time to have the same thing happen.
hey trmnatr2 you are missing what I'm trying to say, he purposely stayed out of the end zone just to hot dog it, that to me is unsportmanship and doesn;t belong in any sport
he wasnt being a hot dog he looked up at the clock to make sure there was no time left so the eagles didnt have to kick it back to the giants.
The entire Giants coaching staff should be fired after that debacle. As the old saying goes, 'players win the first halves of games, coaching wins the second halves'. And you saw how the second half went. And to be outcoached by an Andy Reid led staff is really embarrassing.
