After a drive stalled out in what amounted to a frustrating first half for the Eagles, punter Braden Mann trotted out for Philadelphia and booted a kick, just as New York linebacker Cam Brown came hurtling towards him. Brown’s momentum carried him into Mann, which would undoubtedly have been a penalty for running into the kicker. However, Brown made an, er, adjustment, seemingly…

The Celtics played with some fire on Saturday night. They…
