Aligned alongside his Pro Bowl pass-catching partner in crime for the first time since Week 1, DeVonta Smith confirmed to Philadelphia that in conquering the Browns’ man-to-man-heavy defense, “Skinny Batman” was indeed the man for the job. Eyeing separation against Cleveland’s slot cornerback, Smith speeds into all that and more, using a meshing, drag route concept to set his middle-of-the-field path for a 45-yard catch-and-run touchdown, ultimately giving Philadelphia a lead it wouldn’t again relinquish. In what would become his fourth consecutive game in surpassing the 60-yard receiving barrier, Smith recorded a three-catch, 64-yard, one-score performance on Oct. 13, 2024, helping guide both the Eagles’ 20-16 win, and a 3-2 record.
