DeMeco Ryans went from a drive-ending play to a season ending injury.
WIth 12:46 left in the game and Philadelphia up 24-14, Ryans intercepted a pass by Houston's Ryan Fitzpatrick at the 7-yard line. Ryans, a nine-year veteran, could only take one step with the ball before losing it.
Ryans went to the ground with a leg injury while Houston recovered the ball. Once the play was over, coaches and players swarmed the area around him until he was taken off the field on a cart.

Eagles pretty sure DeMeco Ryans tore his Achilles. Season over for him. Not a good day for them, injury-wise.
