Overview
- Smith cleared the 1,000-yard mark on a 27-yard catch late in the first quarter and finished the season with 77 receptions for 1,008 yards and four touchdowns.
- Nick Sirianni said the staff tailored Smith’s routes for safety, and after hitting the milestone teammates told him to leave the game.
- The performance marked Smith’s third 1,000-yard season and pushed his career total to 5,019 receiving yards, making him the fifth Eagle with at least three 1,000-yard campaigns.
- Philadelphia rested many starters, lost 24-17 to Washington, and closed the regular season 11-6 to secure the NFC’s No. 3 seed.
- Both Smith (1,008) and A.J. Brown (1,003) topped 1,000 yards, the franchise’s first receiver duo to do so in the same season three times, as the Eagles prepare to host San Francisco in the Wild Card round.
