Smith's 45-yard catch in the end zone came a week after he had just one catch for minus-2 yards. He has been known to have big games after not showing up much on the stat sheet.
After registering just one catch for minus-2 yards against the Giants last weekend, Smith responded with one of the best catches of his career.In the early going of the Eagles’ dominant 37-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the wide receiver was thrown down for a 2-yard loss on his first catch of the day. He had plenty of time to amend the broken play, but the stat-line looked all too familiar. One catch, minus-2 yards.
Eagles grades vs. Bengals: Offense clicks with Jalen Hurts at his best and Saquon Barkley going over 100 yards Smith’s biggest play came late in the third quarter with the game still tied, 17-17. The Eagles identified zone coverage by motioning tight end Jack Stoll across the formation and called a play-action deep shot that sent Smith and Brown on routes down the field. Isolated against Cincinnati safety Jordan Battle, Smith gained some separation but still needed to high-point the ball with Battle scrambling to recover.
