With the Philadelphia Eagles down multiple receivers, they needed their rookie, Makai Lemon, to step up. After not being much of a factor in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys, Lemon picked it up in the second half and got his first touchdown of his NFL career. It also gave the Eagles a 21-20 lead late in the third quarter.
Here is a look at Lemon’s first NFL touchdown, courtesy of the NFL’s official social media:

Lemon is the Eagles’ top receiver so far in this game with five receptions for 54 yards, the most receiving yards in his young career. His six targets so far in this game are also the most in his NFL career. It was also quarterback Tanner McKee’s first touchdown pass of the night after the Eagles scored their first two touchdowns on the ground with Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce.
