Cole under pressure
Rookie tight end Cole Kmet, who had one catch on three targets entering Sunday’s game, caught his first NFL touchdown in the first quarter. Kmet wasn’t the first option on the nine-yard pass but Nick Foles threw to him, covered, on a post route.
“It was just an awesome feeling,” Kmet, a Notre Dame and St. Viator grad, said.
