The Jacksonville Jaguars got an emotional victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, 19-17. Jacksonville kicked a field goal to win the game as time expired. While Cam Little kicked the 57-yarder to win, it was another player who emerged as a hero.
That is the team's long snapper, who had to step in and replace an injured player.
