Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate decided to break out ‘The Worm' after scoring a touchdown in his team's Monday night showdown against the Washington Redskins.
Tate caught his first touchdown with the Eagles since coming over from the Detroit Lions via trade, and he absolutely did not disappoint when he celebrated the big moment.

It takes a pretty incredible skill set to be able to pull off a touchdown catch, but it may take an even more advanced skill set to pull off a successful worm attempt.

The Eagles could obviously use a win in this game since they sit at 5-6 on the season and need to make up some serious ground to have a shot at returning to the playoffs to defend their Super Bowl crown.
Washington is at 6-5 on the year, so a win by Philadelphia in this matchup would greatly increase Tate and company's chances to moving towards a possible postseason appearance.
After the clash with the Redskins, the Eagles will head to Dallas for a rivalry game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14.
