The Philadelphia Eagles needed breathing room after the Jacksonville Jaguars scored twice in less than a minute of the third quarter on Sunday.
A third-and-22 isn’t usually the recipe for success. This time, however, it was exactly what Philly needed.
Jalen Hurts went deep, deep, deep for DeVonta Smith. The Heisman winner from Alabama was almost running out of room in the back of the end zone when he made a spectacular catch..
OH MY DEVONTA. ON 3RD AND 22. UNBELIEVABLE CATCH.
