Tanner McKee Throws First NFL Touchdown as Eagles Clinch NFC East

A.J. Brown mistakenly threw McKee's milestone ball into the stands, but fans and staff helped retrieve it for the rookie quarterback.

Tanner McKee, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, threw his first career touchdown pass during the Eagles' win over the Dallas Cowboys.
McKee stepped in as quarterback after Jalen Hurts was sidelined with a concussion and Kenny Pickett exited with a rib injury.
A.J. Brown caught McKee's 20-yard touchdown pass but accidentally launched the ball into the crowd, unaware of its significance.
Eagles fans, with the help of team staff, returned the ball to McKee, and Brown gifted his game-worn jersey to the fan who initially caught it.
The Eagles' 41-7 victory secured the NFC East title, marking a significant moment for McKee and the team.
