What have third-and-long situations and downfield pass attempts had in common for the Eagles’ offense throughout 2025’s season? Both have become the perfect scenarios for DeVonta Smith to demonstrate his status as one of the league’s absolute best receivers. No. 1 across the NFL in both receptions (23) and yards (373) on that must-convert down, Smith turned said obstacle into something truly spectacular against Dallas, adjusting mid-route for a picture-esque 52-yarder that left him literally parallel to the ground. It was the type of catch one could hang in the Louvre, and Smith’s box score was equally must-see; despite Philadelphia’s 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Smith closed the evening with a six-catch, 89-yard contribution.
