Signature Eagles moments that were mysteriously left off of an NFL tribute
Just like that, Philadelphia Eagles fans are almost ready to put the bow on the new millennium's first 25 years. We've gone from fear that computers would stop working at the close of 1999 to the final six months of 2025. What have we learned, other than time flies? We can think of a few things. Many are more important than the following, but hey, what can we say? This one means a lot to us. Advertisement Nothing compares to football. Nothing at all... Not the NBA, not the World Series. While baseball may be considered the national pastime, football is truly America's passion. Three iconic Eagles plays find their way onto a list of top NFL moments from the past quarter century. The Eagles have turned the page from this past season's Super Bowl run. The same is true of media members and fans who follow this team's every move, but the latter two contingents are often allowed the freedom to reminisce more often. Take CBS Sports' top 25 NFL moments of the 2000s' first 25 years. It's hard to trim two and a half decades down to 25 moments, but Cody Benjamin did a nice job. Advertisement He also left off a few that should have made the cut. We'll discuss that more in detail in a moment. Topping Benjamin's list is David Tyree's helmet catch vs. the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42. '4th and 26' didn't make the cut, but it earned an honorable mention. Three Eagles moments found their way onto the ranking: Saquon Barkley's backwards hurdle (25), DeSean Jackson's punt return vs. the New York Giants in 2010, a.k.a. the Miracle at the New Meadowlands (20), and the Philly Special (9). All are deserving entries, but let's be frank. Three noticeable inclusions are missing. Add these five Eagles highlights to CBS Sports' list Let's not waste a ton of time here. We'll acknowledge the three plays already mentioned, add 4th and 26, and include these last six. Advertisement Patrick Robinson's pick-six vs. the Vikings in the NFC Championship Game The Eagles trailed the Minnesota Vikings by a 7-0 score with 6:42 remaining in the first quarter. Patrick Robinson took care of that. His interception and TD return tied the score. Philly never looked back and won by a 38-7 margin. Cooper DeJean's pick-six in Super Bowl 59 Everyone has their theory about when they knew the Eagles had Super Bowl 59 in the bag. For many, that thought came early. Cooper DeJean's pick-six off Patrick Mahomes' arm followed consecutive sacks on first and second down and put Philly up by a 17-0 margin. Saquon Barkley's home run vs. the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round Whenever they have crossed paths, the Eagles have owned Sean McVay for most of his era as the L.A. Rams head coach. Saquon Barkley punished them during two games in his inaugural Eagles season. No one will forever forget his run through the snow. Advertisement The Rams made a late rally, leading to tense moments, but if not for this beauty, Philadelphia wouldn't have outlasted Los Angeles in the snow. Saquon Barkley's TD on his first touch of the NFC Championship Game A ball-control offense by Ron Rivera's Washington Commanders helped eat up the clock and end the 2022 Eagles' undefeated streak at eight games. Two years later, it seemed Dan Quinn's squad hoped to employ a similar formula during the most recent NFC Championship Game. Washington chewed up the first 7:57 of game time but was only able to convert a field goal. Following the ensuing kickoff, a toss play was called to Saquon Barkley. There isn't an Eagles fan walking that doesn't remember how that turned out. Brandon Graham's strip-sack in Super Bowl 52 Never have two Michigan Wolverines met on opposite sides and produced a more iconic moment. Once upon a time, the New England Patriots benefited from the tuck rule and saw a strip-sack overturned. Advertisement Then came Super Bowl 52. Brandon Graham made one of the greatest defensive plays in Eagles history, knocking the ball from Tom Brady's grasp. A Jake Elliott field goal followed, placing Philly up by eight points. The score would hold, making this the greatest strip sack not only in Super Bowl history but in NFL history as well. Jason Kelce's speech at the SB 52 victory parade Ah yes... Jason Kelce on the Rocky Steps. Name another victory parade speech that carried so many iconic moments. Hungry dogs run faster... No one likes us, and we don't carry... As kids, we memorized speeches in grade school. As adults, Kelce's offering is another that we may be able to recite verbatim.

Patrick Robinson's 99-yard pick-six off of Michael Vick is the Saints Play of the Day
Patrick Robinson's 99-yard pick-six off of Michael Vick is the Saints Play of the Day WE ARE 99 DAYS AWAY FROM NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FOOTBALL! Here's a 99 yard pick-6 by @PatRobinson25 — Cruz Oxenreider (@TheRealCruzOx) June 1, 2024 We've got 99 days to count down until the New Orleans Saints kick off their 2025 regular season with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals, which means that Patrick Robinson's 99-yard pick-six is the Saints Play of the Day. Robinson gave the team a rare spark in what had been a brutal 2012 season, which you can watch here. With the Philadelphia Eagles (led by ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick) driving down to the Saints' goal line on Monday Night Football, Robinson stepped up to intercept a pass deflected off of tight end Brent Celek's hands. But he wasn't done yet. Robinson went streaking down the sideline with a convoy of teammates blocking for him, covering 99 yards to put the night's first points on the board. Talk about a tone-setter. Robinson's heady play gave the Saints an early lead in a game that proved to be, well, not very competitive. The Saints took care of business against the Eagles in a 28-13 win in prime time. A few years later Robinson signed with the Eagles in time for their 2017 Super Bowl run, but he finished his career where it started by returning to New Orleans for a few years and retiring in 2020. It wasn't quite the career anyone envisioned when the Saints drafted him in 2010's first round, but Robinson ultimately did pretty well for himself.

Oswego East alum Patrick Robinson makes prediction for Waubonsee. And it's coming true. ‘Have to go undefeated.'
Waubonsee Community College's Patrick Robinson wasn't trying to be Nostradamus. Or was he? The Oswego East graduate almost called the record-setting winning streak by the Chiefs. In the midst of a long knee injury rehabilitation, the 6-foot-4 forward left Missouri-St. Louis. Last spring, he was taking classes at Waubonsee and reacquainted himself with the school. Coach Lance Robinson, no relation, initially recruited Patrick Robinson, who was injured in practice late as a freshman and said he was limited to 'garbage time minutes' for a team loaded with veterans as Missouri-St. Louis reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division II Tournament. And then he came back home and attended Waubonsee. 'I'd pass him every day going to class, say 'hi' and let him know we could use him,' Lance Robinson said. 'He ended up coming to all our second semester games.' Patrick Robinson witnessed Waubonsee's bittersweet finish with a tough loss in the region final, followed by news the Chiefs (28-5) didn't receive an at-large berth for the national tournament. 'Coach,' Patrick Robinson said he told Lance, 'we'll have to go undefeated then next year.' To date, the Chiefs have come pretty close to winning them all. Waubonsee dropped its season opener without Lance Robinson coaching because he had been ejected from that loss in the region final. The Chiefs, however, haven't lost since that game. The latest in a program-record 23-game winning streak came Tuesday night with a 96-82 victory over visiting Oakton at Sugar Grove. Patrick Robinson didn't play Tuesday, sidelined after rolling his ankle last Thursday in a 131-115 win over McHenry that set the program record for points in a game. He's expected to return at 7:15 p.m. Thursday for an Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference game at Elgin. How have the Chiefs done it? It started with Lance Robinson receiving a bonus. Christian Meeks, Patrick Robinson's former teammate at Missouri-St. Louis, decided to join him and transfer to Waubonsee. 'It was like a package deal,' Lance said. 'I knew if I could get one to come, I might get the other.' Meeks, who redshirted his first year at Missouri-St. Louis, then saw limited minutes as a redshirt freshman and wasn't happy with his situation either. The 6-5 forward and Homewood-Flossmoor graduate has emerged as the Chiefs' scoring leader with a 15.2 average. Meeks and H-F had gone head-to-head with Patrick Robinson and Oswego East as seniors in high school at the Hinsdale Central Holiday Classic. It was the Wolves' lone regular-season loss in a record-setting run that ended with a double-overtime loss to Bolingbrook in a sectional final. 'That's my guy,' Patrick Robinson said of Meeks. Robinson added he would be delighted if they could go to another four-year program together. First things first, however. Both are strong inside-out players who combine with two returning guards from last season to give Lance Robinson a strong core. Shooting guard Zach Hayslett, who's from Memphis, averages 14.9 points. Point guard Aboubacar Sidibe, who's from Milwaukee, averages 12.3 points. Patrick Robinson follows at 10.9 points for the Chiefs, who have seven players averaging 8.4 points or more. Waubonsee shares the ball and shoots the 3-pointer with equal efficiency. The Chiefs are ranked fourth nationally in averaging 21.4 assists and second nationally with 244 made 3-pointers. Patrick Robinson is a prime example, and he and Meeks bring out the best in each other. 'Patrick is kind of like a big wing, so to speak,' Lance Robinson said. 'He can score inside-out. He's one of the best inside players in the area. He's also shooting 35% from three, and he's good at defensive positioning and some other things you wouldn't notice unless you coach. 'When I put them on opposing sides in practice, the defensive intensity definitely picks up. They push each other.'
