Daily News | Eagles defense and DeVonta Smith created a nightmare for Carson Wentz’s Commanders in a 24-8 win
LANDOVER, Md. – DeVonta Smith turned his head and noticed the football coming his way. He quickly twisted his body, catapulted himself from his spot in the corner of the end zone, and leaped over Commanders cornerback Kendall Fuller. At the peak of his jump, Smith hauled in the ball from quarterback Jalen Hurts, utilizing his midnight green gloves like a sticky magnet.
Smith was nearly unstoppable against the Commanders on Sunday afternoon. He set career highs in catches and receiving yards . His elite performance paved the way to a 24-8 victory, as the Eagles extended their record to 3-0.Leading up to Week 3, the Eagles were confident they had built the perfect game plan to contain Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz. Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon wanted to affect the former Eagles quarterback and force him into stressed and difficult throws.
That momentum carried over at Washington. Smith surely led the way, but there were multiple playmakers involved. Smith and A.J. Brown generated 22 combined targets; Brown had five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old quarterback is still improving, but his willingness to trust his protection is commendable. Hurts completed 22 of 35 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. He also rushed nine times for 20 yards.The passing game was hot, but the Eagles struggled to generate momentum in the running game.
