Ward’s first TD catch sends Eagles soaring over Redskins

Twenty one days ago, former UH quarterback standout Greg Ward Jr. caught his first-ever NFL catch since transitioning to wide receiver in 2017 with the Philadelphia Eagles. He did so in an Eagles loss.

Twenty one days later, Ward won and caught seven passes, including the most important one. On first-and-goal, down four with 32 seconds left in the game, Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz dropped back, scanned and found Ward running open in the corner of the endzone off of a shallow cross.

Ward caught the go-ahead touchdown, in turn, helping the Eagles get closer to the NFL Playoffs.
