It’s Wednesday, October 12th, and the Eagles defeated the Cardinals more than 72 hours ago.

We originally thought North Penn’s Matt Ammendola gave us a shank-o-potamus on the missed field goal at the end of the game, but pictures surfaced on Twitter that showed DT Milton Williams possibly getting a hand on the ball:

The funny thing is that nobody seems to be able to confirm this.

Williams responded with an emoji on Twitter:

No clue what that means. Eagles fans seem to be in of consensus that this emoji equates to a “yes,” but emojis would not be permissible in a court of law, so we look for further confirmation.

Nick Sirianni was asked about it on Monday, and said this:

We reviewed it. Hard to tell. I’ll ask Milton — those guys had the day off today, and I’ll ask Milton when he gets in if he got his hand on it.

I don’t know because it went pretty straight for a little bit and then it took that right turn, so I’m assuming he didn’t based off the kick’s trajectory and everything like that. But he may have.

On Tuesday, special teams coordinator Michael Clay offered this:

I don’t know about him by himself, but I thought the field goal block was really rushing really hard the entire game, even before that. Jordan Davis, Brandon Graham, they were getting good push on the guards right there.

People do feel that. When there’s offensive line kind of backed up right there, guys on the ground. So I don’t know if he really effected that last kick, but those three kicks previous, the guards were getting pushed back by Jordan, Milton, B.G. So, we try to make, from a field goal block standpoint, make them pay for points.

No confirmation from two coaches and ambiguity from the player himself. Sirianni speaks today, Wednesday, and the locker room opens up for a little bit, so the beats should be able to find Williams and beat the truth out of him, figuratively. If I was Milton, I’d claim it, of course. Yes indeed! I did block that kick. Take credit.

Sirianni does make a good point though. The trajectory of the ball looks curious. It just looks like a straight up slice. Usually the ball dies a little bit or falls short if a big guy gets a paw on it, but in this case it kept sailing and just flew to Ammendola’s right, so it’s really hard to tell from the angles and screen grabs that fans and media were able to cobble together.

Confirmation soon, hopefully.

EDIT 3pm – here it is:
