WATCH: Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts Finds Dallas Goedert for TD vs. Los Angeles Rams
After questions surrounding a lack of productivity, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could be beginning to find his groove.
In Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, Goedert got off to hot start. After just one drive, he already had a season-high 45 receiving yards to go along with four catches. The final grab was a six-yard touchdown that put Philly up 7-0 early.
Take a look:
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni admitted earlier in the week that they needed to get Goedert the ball more.
“Trust me, I promise you, he's still part of the plan of wanting us to get him the football," Sirianni said. "We need to get him the football. Sometimes there's a dry spell in there, too, of what's kind of going on right now.”
Goedert admitted he had his own frustrations amid a slow start.
"It’s always tough," Goedert said. "I love catching the ball and I love playing with the ball in my hands. With this offense that’s not always going to be the case. Defenses do different things to try to take us away. But it’s one of those things that you’ve just got to stay into it."
Regardless of his slow start this season, Sirianni has emphasized that Goedert "changes the game."
"Even though he's not contributing the way we all envisioned him to contribute at this particular time in the pass game, he's been a force in the run game -- a force," Sirianni said. "Dallas still changes the game because of what he does in the run game, and he still changes the game of being somebody in the pass game that they're concerned of where it opens up the field for other people."
