It took less one series against the Falcons on Sunday for Eagles rookie DeVonta Smith to get his first NFL career catch and subsequently, his first NFL career touchdown. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw an 18-yard pass to Smith to put the Eagles up against the Falcons, 6-3 with over six minutes left in the first quarter.
