Dallas Goedert (Philadelphia Eagles) SDSU: 2014-17
Weekly Notes: Goedert and the Eagles notched their fourth win of the season - 24-18 - over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday morning, as the South Dakota State alum played 48 percent of the offensive snaps (30 plays) and recorded his second touchdown in as many games.
Â
It was his lone target in the game, but the 32-yard catch was the fourth longest play of the game - Goedert's career-long - and the score that pushed Philly ahead for the remainder of the game.
Â
With less than 40 seconds in the first half on the Jags' 32-yard line, the rookie tight end crossed in front of the Jacksonville defense and wheeled up the left hash while quaterback Carson Wentz play-faked to the right before darting the ball to Goedert on the backside of the play. At about the eight-yard line, No. 88 caught it and juked one defender before rumbling into the end zone.
