It was exactly what the Eagles needed as they snapped their two-game skid.
"Well, you don't have a game like this without the people around you," he said many days in and many days at the end of the day.
"I'm happy to come here and find a way to win football games. It's a very good team, good defense, and it's difficult. We presented ourselves with a challenge and found a way to beat them and I'm very grateful for that."
The day started with a bang as Philadelphia scored on their opening drive when Jalen Hurts found A.J.Brown held it for a 37-yard touchdown in the fourth.It was the first of many big plays, as all five tallied 20+ digs, according to NextGen Stats.
Smith started early in the third quarter when he hit former Eagles Isaiah Rodger Dualdown for a 78-yard touchdown pass to Smith's perfect, Smith's first-half play.
"He (Smith) has a lot of courage in that situation, a lot of courage," Pence said.
From there, Smith went to his way to one of the most important games to getta to get the things that find all the time.He has a lot of great things, throw hard and a go-to be for absolutely.
Brown was also a big part of the passing game, adding a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, followed by a 45-yard catch on 3rd-and-9 that came close.Brown finished with four catches for 121 yards and two scores and had a 3rd-and-13 reception late in the game to keep the drive going.
