LANDOVER, MD — DeVonta Smith‘s leaping two-yard touchdown catch capped a monster first half for the former Heisman Trophy winner against the Washington Commanders Sunday, helping the Eagles rumble out to a 24-0 halftime lead.
Smith finished with 156 yards receiving. That’s the most by an Eagles player in any half since Kevin Curtis in Week 3, 2007 (205 rec. yards), according to ESPN Stats & Information.
He had a number of acrobatic catches, including a 44-yarder from Jalen Hurts that set up the final score. Smith elevated over cornerback Kendall Fuller, pulled in the catch and then landed hard on his back. Shaken up, he left the game briefly, but returned to score his first TD of the season by outleaping Fuller in the back corner of the end zone.
6 FOR 6!!! 😳
