DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles are moving to the Divisional Round after defeating the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. They will be hosting the Los Angeles Rams, the NFC West champions and Wild Card winners against the Minnesota Vikings.
Against the Rams, Smith can own another page of the Eagles’ playoff record book if the collects at least six yards. In doing so, he would overtake Harold Carmichael for the most postseason receiving yards by an Eagles player. Smith would have broken Carmichael’s record in the same number of games the latter compiled his record (7).
Star: WR DeVonta Smith will become the #Eagles ALL-TIME receiving yards leader in the playoffs with ONLY 6 more yards this week.

Smith finished the 2024 regular season with 68 completions for 833 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games. He had four catches for 55 yards in their 22-10 victory over Green Bay.
In addition to establishing a franchise record, the Eagles will compete in the NFC Championship Game if they defeat the gritty Rams. In related news, tight end Dallas Goedert has 394 postseason receiving yards for the Eagles. Having a big game against the Rams could put him closer to Smith.
