With the count knotted up at 14-all in the fourth quarter, Matt Cassel took the snap in Eagles territory, looking to throw the ball to Darren McFadden rolling to the sideline. But Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks read the route and pounced on the pass to return Cassel’s throw for an easy score, leaving Dallas fans wishing for Tony Romo.
