Roughly 25 minutes after the final whistle, Nakobe Dean was still holding onto the ball with which he called game. It was a too-close-for-comfort victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, one that necessitated Dean to play the hero Sunday with a leaping interception in the front corner of the end zone to seal the 28-23 win late in the fourth quarter and vault the Eagles to 6-2.

Three months ago, Kenny Gainwell torched Nakobe Dean on a wheel route in training camp. On Sunday, with the game on the line against Jacksonville, Dean recognized that same play. He didn't lose this time.
