Agholor's TD catch was on third-and-19. He blew past safety Budda Baker, caught Wentz's perfect pass over the shoulder and used a spin move and stiff arm to reach the end zone.
    
NOT SO PERFECT
    
Wentz made a mistake late in the second quarter after guiding the Eagles to the Cardinals 25. He overthrew Ertz and Antoine Bethea made a toe-tapping interception in the end zone.
    
BLOCKED

PLAY BALL
    
Smith and a few teammates came up with an original, baseball-themed TD celebration . Smith was the batter. Jeffery crouched like a catcher. Agholor pretended to be the pitcher and Wentz was the umpire. Agholor wound up and threw a fake pitch. Smith used the ball as a bat and swatted a "home run."
