Dallas Goedert’s Red-Zone Surge Puts Eagles TE Atop NFL TD Chart Entering Bye

A reworked one-year return has been powered by Kevin Patullo’s red-zone designs, with six of his seven scores coming inside the 20.

Overview

  • Goedert caught two touchdowns in a 38-20 win over the Giants to reach seven on the season as the Eagles moved to 6-2 before their Week 9 bye.
  • Since 2015, only Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski have matched seven receiving TDs through a tight end’s first seven games, per team official John Gonoude.
  • Philadelphia leads the NFL in red-zone touchdown rate at 17-for-20 (about 85%), with Goedert accounting for six of those scores.
  • The tight end stayed after spring trade talks by reworking his deal to a one-year contract worth more than $10 million, below his prior $14.25 million number, and he is set to be a free agent after the season.
  • Jalen Hurts lauded Goedert as “a hell of a player” as the veteran tied Amon-Ra St. Brown for the NFL lead in receiving touchdowns and stepped up with A.J. Brown sidelined.
