Eagles Got Away With A TD After Replay Shows DeVonta Smith Didn’t Catch 4th-Down Pass (VIDEO)

The Eagles have seven points on the board and they shouldn’t have it if the 49ers had challenged a 4th down play.

In the first quarter, the Eagles went for it on 4th down as Jalen Hurts unleashed a long pass to DeVonta Smith. He reached out with one hand to bring it in and it looked quite spectacular.

He got up immediately as he wanted the offense to hurry up and hike the ball. That was don eby design because he knew he did not catch it/

WOW, the Eagles got away with one. Ward knocked the ball away from DeVonta Smith… Should've been incomplete. Eagles went quickly & the 49ers didn't challenge. pic.twitter.com/MQgL2hzfFo

The Devonta Smith one-handed catch should've actually been incomplete as the ball clearly hit the ground. Eagles hurried to the line, seems like the 49ers didn't get the correct angle in time. Huge, huge miss.pic.twitter.com/efJ9pmb3sC
