Julio Jones was signed on October 17 to provide a red zone presence for quarterback Jalen Hurts and he paid dividends against the Washington Commanders.

Jones has the one catch for 8 yards and the touchdown on two targets, while A.J. Brown broke Calvin Johnson’s record for consecutive 125 yards receiving games.

DeVonta Smith has 7 catches for 99 yards and a touchdown of his own as the Eagles hold a 31-24 lead with under 2:00 minutes remaining.
