DeVonta Smith's 50-50 Ball Prowess Secures Eagles' Only Touchdown Against Packers
DeVonta Smith proved his 'clutch gene' in the Eagles' 10-7 win over the Packers, securing the team's only touchdown with a 36-yard grab on a 50-50 ball. Immediately following Saquon Barkley's big play, Smith rose above safety Evan Williams to haul in a slightly underthrown pass from Jalen Hurts. Despite his 6-0, 170-pound stature, Smith has a strong reputation for excelling in jump ball situations, proudly stating he's 'one of the best guys at 50-50 balls.' A.J. Brown's blocking occupied Xavier McKinney, creating a 1-on-1 opportunity for Smith. Through nine games, Smith is having a career season with 48 catches for 657 yards and 3 touchdowns, putting him on pace for over 1,200 yards.
