fios is not cable. we're wired differently, which means we can fix things differently. thanks for calling fios. this is ryan. you can't tell me this cord isn't in. i know it's in. it's in, but it's not working. i'm sending you a link to the my fios app that going to let me see what you're seeing. really? yes, mr. mcenroe... see that cord? just plug it into the connector on the right. so you can clearly see what's in and what's out? oh absolutely. i like that. tech support that lets your technician see the problem over your smartphone. only from fios. jaime has a check on sports. the eagles making surprising cuts. >> cutting the roster down.

andrew gardner, offensive lineman, started a couple games. and chris gibbons and ruben randall, also gone. they had an impressive showing against the colts. sam bradford found the end zone twice. missed on three throws. 114 passer rating. they won it 33-23. brad ford looks like he's ready for the opener. >> i think everyone realizes that before week one gets here we have a lot of work to do. this is a big week coming up to get a jump on cleveland. >> i think a lot of guys did good things but we're never satisfied. jr. season coming back shortly. obviously we're excited about that. but the team is headed in the right direction. >> the d played the way they have all season. that's great. especially against the run yesterday. the colts managed a measly 39 yards. they got a ton of pressure. sacking andrew luck three times. >> they're playing aggressive,

tenacious football. that's jim schwartz style of ball. that's what i wanted when i hired jim. that's when you're seeing. >> we work to be the best. so when we have success, we don't necessarily get surprised. but we also to want to keep in perspective. nobody is scheming up for each other. we have a lot of work to do. but with the opportunities we have had to compete we have played well and i'm by that. >> given the cuts i told you about earlier, the eagle's roster is at 73. needs to be at 75. maybe add two more. they will work out two members of the philadelphia foals tomorrow. 138 catches and 38 touchdown this is season. and also work out jake metz, the defensivelineman of the year. he led the league with eight sacks. >> words can't even explain. i get jittery thinking about it. so i have toke it one day at

a time and do everything. i know that'll help me get on the team. >> i have a good idea, or a good feeling that if i start with philly i will possibly get a chance. it's like a dream come true. >> a guy who will not be trying out for the eagles, i don't think, but will be talkingout them, 97.5, the phanatic, mike, joining me in just a few minutes. break down the week after action news at 11:00. and after watching the phillys give up 42 runs in five games, a break. i wonder what these two guys are talking about. they win for us today? and the metz in the third. looking to tie it. laying down the bunt. and -- yeah, nope. didn't happen. fourth inning, they tie it. fly ball to deep right. flies one in, knotted at one. but wouldn't you know, they have a runner at the plate again. back-to-back innings that happened. finally in the seventh, here's one way to make yourself welcome. newcomer a.j. ellis, the winning run. the 5-1 win.

there were 20,000 watching the little league world series championship. new york. robbing south korea of a home run. and just like their name, it does end well for the american team. pitching a complete game. all's well that ends well. the cliche. this is the best thing you have seen in a long time. i love you, mike trout. he signs the ball. look at this kid's reaction. have you ever seen more pure joy? what happens when you finally get that autograph from your hero? you're moved to tears. one of the many reasons i think sports are so great. look at the kid. >> it's like they say on espn. why does it make you emotional? wonderful. >> fantastic. >> absolutely. up next, a first day of school is special for every kid.

but this guy learned a really important lesson. you don't need to be related to be a member of the family. that story when action news comes back.

it was a bittersweet first day of school for a little boy from amarillo, texas. his father, a police officer, died two weeks ago after an

on-duty car crash. his second family, the men and women in blue stepped in. >> reporter: the first day of preschool for a 4-year-old named jackson with pictures. >> stand up i n front of everybod that's good. >> reporter: and with his mom's encouragement, but also something else. owing to the fact that his dad was not there. that's because the amarillo cop was in an auto collision several months back. it looked like he would pull through, but he did not. he died two weeks ago. which led to this moment in the school parking lot. >> today has been an emotional day. >> reporter: when his dad's other family, his police family made sure to be there for the sendoff. >> he was shocked and so excited. >> reporter: and jackson's face, when he realized it was for him and done out of love for his dad. >> he was always pitching in to lend a hand. offering to do something for you. even this last year when he was in such pain and not able to even walk on his own sometimes. >> reporter: yep. quite the first day of school.

to know he's got a line of blue in that place where his dad would be, by his side. and at his back. >> see you later, buddy. have a good day. >> start learning. first day. day one. >> reporter: john donovan, abc news.
