Balling: Zach Ertz

Quietly, Ertz had a great game. He established himself as a consistent target and as Wentz’s security blanket. Ertz pretty much caught everything thrown his way as he totaled six catches on seven targets and wound up with 58 yards receiving. Again, he didn’t have a lot of yards and didn’t score, but he established himself in a new role that will benefit the team down the road.

Did you see that one-handed catch at the beginning of the game?!?! That was fantastic!

Now we just have to see when he’ll be playing again.
