Johnny Wilson's first TD as an Eagles WR is one to remember

Some clips and captions don't need assistance in standing out. Any mention of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys brings media attention and a national audience. How long has it been since these two long-time rivals didn't play in Arlington during the prime time window?

Maybe 2018? Heck, we didn't take the time to look. Our bad on that, but we do know it's been a long time.

Whenever Philly and Dallas renew acquaintances, the NFL's powers that be always try to get the game on television for a national viewing audience.

Oh well... It appears our Birds will have to settle for being involved in the feature window as CBS's game of the week. That's kind of like a prime time feature, right?

For rookie Johnny Wilson, year one has brought its share of growing pains. No worries... He made his stamp on Philly's attempt to break the jinx in Arlington.

Johnny Wilson's first career TD doubles as another memorable moment in the Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry.

The last time the Eagles won in Arlington, Johnny Wilson was about 16 years old. Six straight losses have been painful to watch, but the Birds gave us cause to smile in Week 10.

Here's one of those occasions where hanging onto the football plays out well in Jalen Hurts' favor. Facing a 3rd-and-goal scenario and scrimmaging from the Dallas 5-yard line, QB1 found Johnny Wilson for the rookie's first career TD.

Wilson is a six-foot-six, 228-pounder from Calabasas, California. He spent the 2020-2021 NCAA season at Arizona State before transferring to Florida State and spending the 2022 and 2023 seasons there.

We hoped that meant he'd contribute to the offense as a red-zone threat and steady target as a possession receiver to move the chains on third down. He did that versus the hated Cowboys. What a way to earn that first career TD, huh? Let's hope it's the first of many for the 2024 sixth-round NFL Draft choice.
