Burton and Bryan Braman pushed one of punter Andy Lee’s own players into his path on the punt and were able to block it leading to Brad Smith pouncing on the ball in the end zone.
The punt from the end zone was set up by a huge 13-yard sack by Trent Cole and Connor Barwin pegging the 49ers on their own 2-yard line.
Fun fact: The Eagles have not scored on a punt block since 1992, 22 years ago.
Making history: The last time the #Eagles scored a touchdown on a blocked punt was on 11/22/92 by Ken Rose.
