Two former stars of the Philadelphia Eagles reached the same personal milestone on Saturday.
DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick are officially both victorious college football head coaches.
Jackson is in his first year as the head coach at Delaware State, and his victory came in a wild game.
They trailed by two points with 4:38 to play, and then with two minutes on the clock, weather delayed the game for three hours, according to the Associated Press.
The wait was worth it for Jackson. With 34 seconds left, Kaiden Bennett took off for a 27-yard touchdown run and a 37-32 victory over Albany.

Vick, who was coaching his second game for Norfolk State, made it interesting, too.
His squad needed overtime to pull off a 34-31 win over Virginia State.
Norfolk State trailed 31-24 with 2:15 left but rallied to force OT. The comeback had started earlier: It was a 16-point deficit entering the fourth quarter.
It was quite the Saturday for first coaching wins.
The most headline-driving first win came from North Carolina, where Bill Belichick got his first college coaching win. But he was also proven at the NFL level for a long time.
For Jackson and Vick, it had to feel a bit more special.
They both took over football programs at HBCUs to try and uplift the young men that have been put into their care.
And on Saturday, they were both winners.
