Aussie weapon Jordan Mailata has ruined an NFL rival with a seriously savage Instagram post after producing a frightening highlight.
Jordan Mailata destroyed Marcus Davenport in Philadelphia’s big win over New Orleans on Monday, but the real damage was done off the field.
The Aussie weapon was absolutely dominant in helping the Eagles to a 40-29 win, producing a terrifying hit on Davenport that sent social media into a frenzy.
The offensive tackle showed his raw power in one play where he knocked Davenport into next week with a one-arm tackle that put his foe on his back in a world of hurt.
American football commentators went wild for the “pancake” hit — which left poor Davenport flattened and (likely) fearful.

The pair exchanged verbal barbs throughout the game and at one point ended up wrestling on the floor in a scene that had teammates rushing in to break up their beef.
But the highlight moment came in the second quarter where all 157kg of the former South Sydney rugby league talent’s body thundered into Davenport and dropped him like a bag of spuds.
The Australian then took the quarrel off the field with him when he posted a picture with a hidden detail that is absolutely filthy.
He posted three photos, including one which showed him grappling with Davenport on the ground. The post had Mailata’s location set as the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurants.
Mailata earlier this year signed one of the richest playing contracts ever seen in Australian sport when he signed a four-year contract that could be worth up to $108 million ($USD80m) — if he meets performance bonus clauses.
As first reported by ESPN, the deal is worth USD$64 million with $40.85 million guaranteed.
