NFL fans were in awe as Eagles punter Braden Mann made a game-saving hold on a field goal in the snow

The Eagles and Rams knew that Sunday’s NFC divisional round game had the risk of snowy conditions in the second half, and the forecasts weren’t joking when the wind and heavy snow rolled in at Lincoln Financial Field.

And with the snow, every player’s job becomes significantly more challenging. But luckily for the Eagles, punter (and holder) Braden Mann was up to the task.

As the Eagles lined up to attempt a 23-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, the snow was coming down so hard that it was difficult to even see the ball on the broadcast. It couldn’t have been easy for the players on the field either. So, with that in mind, Mann may have made the catch of the game.

Mann corralled a tough snap and lined up the hold to perfection for Jake Elliott, who made the field goal. He had a similar moment a few minutes later after he Eagles recovered a fumble.

They were the kind of plays that wouldn’t show up in a box score, but NFL fans were awfully impressed.

This was how Twitter/X reacted
