LeSean McCoy Video: Watch Ecstatic Eagle Punch Andy Reid in Gut

LeSean McCoy decided to celebrate him punching the ball past the first down-marker and clinching the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the Washington Redskins by punching his coach in the stomach.  

McCoy killed any hope of the Redskins pulling off a comeback victory by moving the chains and potentially saved the Eagles' season with a big first down on 2nd-and-2.

The RB managed to stay inbounds, and that took the clock down to the two-minute warning with no timeouts left for the Redskins.

LeSean bounced up immediately after and was obviously fired up, as he headed straight to Andy Reid and gave him a shot to the gut.

Reid certainly wasn’t expecting that reaction from his star rusher and was seemingly stunned by the hit.

I imagine when a 210-pound powerhouse of an NFL player jabs you unexpectedly, you would react just like Reid did.

I can’t picture him getting mad over it, as McCoy may have just saved his job along with the Eagles' season.

There have been rumblings over the past few weeks that the Eagles need to sack their coach after their poor 1-4 start, but getting a huge NFC East win heading into the bye should alleviate the growing urgency to make drastic changes.

The Eagles are only two games back from the Giants in the division and could easily turn the season around if they keep playing solid football.

They were fortunate that Michael Vick was able to return to this game after suffering what was initially thought to be a concussion but later reported to just be dirt in his eyes.

Backup Vince Young came in after Vick left the field and immediately threw an interception. If Young stayed in the Eagles may have blown another late-game lead.

Reid might have a sore stomach today but I guarantee he is in better spirits than he has been in weeks because of McCoy’s game-clinching run, and that’s the most he can ask for.
