Dallas Goedert Scores Rushing and Receiving TDs as Eagles Fall to 49ers in Wild Card

Two first-half touchdowns highlighted Philadelphia's creative red-zone approach.

Overview

  • Dallas Goedert ran in a 1-yard score on an end-around after Philadelphia bypassed its usual tush push, though Jake Elliott missed the extra point for a 7-6 deficit.
  • Goedert later caught a nine-yard touchdown that stood after officials picked up an ineligible-man flag on center Cam Jurgens, and Elliott converted the PAT for a 13-7 lead.
  • The tight end became part of a rare NFL group to log both a rushing and a receiving touchdown in the same game and is just the second Eagle to do so in the playoffs, joining Ricky Watters (1995).
  • Philadelphia ultimately lost 23-19 to San Francisco, capping a night when the Eagles at one stage trailed 17-16 late.
  • Goedert’s performance followed a career-best regular season with 60 receptions, 591 yards and a franchise-record 11 touchdowns for an Eagles tight end, reinforcing his prominent red-zone role.
