When big plays needed to be made on Sunday, the wide receiver duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith came through for Hurts and the Eagles offense.
CHICAGO — Early on, the frigid temperatures Sunday at Soldier Field had the Eagles at times flustered and out of sync. Through the first 27 minutes of the first half, the Eagles scored just three points and had just 99 yards of total offense.
“I feel like me and Jalen got off to a slow start in the first half, but as we picked up in the second half, we started to get going,” Brown said. Smith finished with 126 yards for his third 100-yard receiving game this season and the most yards since his 169 in the Eagles’ Week 3 win over the Washington Commanders.
Even in the Eagles’ 19-play drive that spanned more than eight minutes and resulted in a missed 38-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, Smith converted third-and-10 with his catch-and-run of 14 yards on a screen, then nabbed an 8-yard curl route catch to move the chains a few plays later. “Just being able to learn from a guy like him, great receiver, great leader, great guy overall, so him coming in, teaching me some things, allowed me to elevate my game.”
