Alex Smith couldn’t miss Logan Thomas midway through the fourth quarter — but then again, the Washington Football Team quarterback hardly missed his tight end at all Monday night.
For the ninth catch toward the latter stages of the best game of his career, Thomas ran an out-and-up, found himself all alone and hauled in the game-tying touchdown. That 15-yard completion was the most standout link-up between he and Smith, but Thomas showed throughout the 23-17 victory that he could be Smith’s go-to target when needed.
Thomas caught nine passes for 98 yards and a score. The 29-year-old, still learning how to operate at the position after transitioning from the quarterback he played while at Virginia Tech, proved Monday his transition is all-but complete.
