The Eagles have overcome a lot of injuries this year. But in the biggest game of the year, with the entire season hanging in the balance, this felt like it could have been a finishing blow. Not only did Cox return to the game, on his first series back in the second quarter, but he also made a huge play. It was a big one too.
At the time, the Rams were up and a touchdown in that spot would have stretched that lead. The Eagles took the lead a few minutes later. He might be our best player on our team.
I would not be one of those to say that, however, at least not to Destiny Vaeao, the Eagles 6-foot-4, pound rookie. Back home in the U. They forgot his middle name, Lalotoa, means "warrior. In deference to Vaeao, we'll use the word "fate" to describe his path to the Eagles, and to Soldier Field on Monday night where he subbed into the defensive line for just seven snaps but used one of them to sack Jay Cutler and force a fumble that was recovered by Jordan Hicks, one of three Chicago turnovers.
Players like to say it's more important to make your plays count than to count your plays. Usually this is said by backups, but nevertheless, Vaeao made it come true against the Bears. That's all you need," he said. That's what I wanted to do. Getting an opportunity to get an opportunity in the NFL is the hard part.

Regardless, Vaeao was recruited by several Division I schools as a tight end, and by Washington State as a potential defensive lineman. That helped Vaeao's decision.

His sister was also attending Washington State at the time, and that didn't hurt, either. So, Vaeao became a defensive tackle. When the NFL draft came around, Vaeao was considered a possible late-round pick or a priority undrafted free agent. It turned out to be the latter, with a lot of teams interested in bringing him into camp for a look.
As fate - that word again - would have it, the Eagles had added Phillip Daniels as their assistant defensive line coach in the offseason, and Daniels played three seasons with Joe Salave'a when both were with the Washington Redskins. Their connection had lasted over the years and when Salave'a gave Vaeao a strong recommendation, Daniels was comfortable adding his own to the Eagles' personnel department.
The deal was signed, and Vaeao had his chance. But when Martin injured his knee during training camp and was released, well, you pick the word, whatever it was, Vaeao was getting his chance.
Destiny of Eagles
On his big play against the Bears, Vaeao was initially double-teamed by guard Kyle Long and tackle Bobby Massie, but he kept churning when Massie dropped off to help tight end Logan Paulsen deal with Vinny Curry on the edge. Vaeao got off the ground, went past Long and chased down Cutler as he tried to find a place in the pocket.
He wrapped his arms around the quarterback's waist, jarring the ball from Cutler's hand in the process.
