Former Oregon Ducks Wide Receiver Josh Huff is familiar with big plays. Last season in the Civil War is a good example of what he can do ona  football field, but in his first season in the National Football League under Chip Kelly, his former coach at Oregon the year has not gone to his plan. A month ago Huff voiced his frustration with playing time, got to work hard on the practice field and his effort paid off on Sunday.

A mere thirteen seconds into the game and the Philadelphia Eagles had a 7-0 lead thanks to Huff and a one-hundred seven yard kickoff return for a touchdown. It was not only the first for Huff in his NFL Career, but also the longest kickoff return in Philadelphia Eagles History en route to a 43-24 win over the Tennessee Titans who were able to keep it close in the first half before the Philadelphia Offense pulled away for a win.

Philadelphia is now 6-3 on the season and will head to Dallas for a Thursday night game on Thanksgiving Night with the Cowboys. (1:30pm PT on FOX). Dallas visits the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.
