Nov 3, 2024, 11:53 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith made an astonishing one-handed 25-yard touchdown catch on a 3rd-and-22 play during the team's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, extending the Eagles' lead to 28-16. The catch, hailed as one of the best of the season, occurred in the back corner of the end zone and helped the Eagles regain momentum after the Jaguars had cut the deficit by returning a Saquon Barkley fumble for a touchdown. Quarterback Jalen Hurts connected with Smith on the remarkable play, having previously found him for a 46-yard reception. Despite leading 22-0 in the third quarter, the Eagles faced criticism for head coach Nick Sirianni's decision-making, including passing up easy field goal opportunities and unsuccessful two-point conversions. Smith's performance, including his spectacular touchdown, was pivotal in re-establishing the Eagles' control of the game.
