Eagles rookies come up big in first NFL playoff game

The Eagles scored two touchdowns in their win over the Bears during Wildcard Weekend, and while it’s no surprise that the first score came thanks to a catch by a tight end, the fact that it was rookie Dallas Goedert, and not Zach Ertz, stood out.

From Goedert’s big score, to Avonte Maddox coming thiiiis close to creating a turnover — on more than one occasion — it’s safe to say that the Eagles rookies shined in their first taste of playoff football in the NFL.
