The Eagles mauled the Saints yesterday and made a statement as the team moved to 5-6 on the season. The win was a team effort, but it was hard to see it happening without some key contributions from the rookies.
DeVonta Smith: B+
While the gameplan clearly prioritized pounding the rock, DeVonta Smith still made some key contributions in the passing game. Smith caught four passes for 61 yards, including a deep crosser where he broke a tackle and picked up some extra yards. It was the Eagles biggest passing play of the day. He had another catch on a short pass where he bounced off a tackler in the red zone and almost kept his footing to score.
