The Philadelphia Eagles are far from being a perfect football team, but they do have some incredible top-tier talents that are capable of changing any game.
Wide receiver DeVonta Smith is one of those players and showed exactly what he is capable of on Sunday afternoon by making one of the best catches of the 2024 NFL season.
With the Eagles clinging to a 22-16 lead and facing a third-and-long deep in Jacksonville territory, quarterback Jalen Hurts unleashed a throw for the back of the end zone that resulted in Smith making a diving, one-handed grab just as he was able to get both of his feet down in bounds.
Have a look.
OH MY DEVONTA. ON 3RD AND 22. UNBELIEVABLE CATCH.

It is even more impressive with the slowed-down, closer angle in the end zone.
Incredible, DeVonta Smith.

That is as good of a catch as you will see by an NFL wide receiver. Smith has topped the 1,000-yard mark in two of his first three years in the NFL and entered Sunday's game with three touchdowns this season.
