With a hushed, stunned Louisiana crowd at his back, Dallas Goedert — moments after becoming NFL history’s 23rd-ever tight end to record a 170-game outing — recognized that in a playmaker-heavy Philadelphia offense, the mentality was merely to “wait his turn.” Recognizing its prompt arrival with 1:16 left, the Eagles down by five, and on 3rd & 16, Goedert, agile out of his break on a short crosser, broke free to turn a modest reception into a game-flipping 61-yard pickup. Taking a page from the book of his sidelined, Pro Bowl receiver teammate, Goedert erupted for 170 yards (117 after the catch) on 10 snags, helping steer a come-from-behind, 15-12 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 22, 2024.
