PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Clay Matthews blew past Brent Celek off the line of scrimmage, pushed aside Winston Justice and sprinted after Kevin Kolb, chasing the quarterback across the field before catching him from behind and driving him hard into the turf.
That one play in the first game changed the course of the season for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kolb sustained a concussion on the hit, paving the way for Michael Vick to come off the bench and star in perhaps the most compelling comeback story in NFL history.
Without Vick, the Eagles (10-6) may be home watching the playoffs instead of preparing for a rematch with Green Bay (10-6) in a wild-card game Sunday.
