Just in case you missed it: Eagles QB Nate Sudfeld and his first NFL touchdown
Nate Sudfeld throws the first touchdown pass of his career and then has to negotiate with a young fan to get the football back.
How’s this for discrepancy? Before leaving the Philadelphia Eagles‘ regular season finale with an injury, Nick Foles, at one point, completed 25 straight passes. His replacement, Nate Sudfeld, at this point of his career, has only attempted 25 passes.
Well, with both Foles and Carson Wentz on the roster, we imagine that it’s hard to get playing time.
Here’s some much-needed comic relief.

In a season full of mixed emotions, the Eagles and their fans ended 2018’s regular season on a high note. Three straight wins have them in the postseason.
In Week 17, we got a little comic relief.
Most of us will never know the elation of throwing a touchdown pass in the NFL, but here’s an overly-obvious statement. You can only throw your first career touchdown at the professional level once.
Nelson Agholor was on the receiving end of Sudfeld’s and in his excitement, he ran over and handed the ball to a young Eagles fan.
He must’ve forgotten the gravity of the moment, so after some begging and pleading, from both Agholor and Sudfeld, this young Eagles fan was willing to give the ball back.
As mature as that is, it’s hard to imagine too many people handling that same situation the same way. Our hero, the young Philly fan, was taken care of however, and a member of the event staff made sure Sudfeld’s new friend got a football of his own to take home.
With that being said, we can, officially announce that every member of the team and every fan of ‘The Birds’ went home happy.
