Big first half, first NFL TD for Clemson pro Will Shipley in NFC Championship |
Will Shipley was the first Eagle to touch the ball in the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles' playoff game to precede one touchdown Sunday, and he made the play to set up Philly's last TD of the first half as well.
Later, he got into the end zone himself. The Eagles entered the half up 27-15 on the Washington Commanders, where Shipley racked up 60 kick return yards and a forced fumble. The Shipley forced fumble on the Washington kickoff return preceded the Eagles' last score of the half: Here’s a look at Will Shipley forcing that fumble for the Eagles in the NFC Championship. Shipley also had a 35-yard kickoff return on Philly's first possession that preceded a 60-yard Saquon Barkley touchdown run. With the game in hand and Philadephia's backup out, Shipley got to shine as a ballcarrier as well with a 57-yard dash and later scored his first career NFL touchdown: Will Shipley takes off for 57 yards!
