The Philadelphia Eagles' passing game has had a lot of questions asked of it this season.

Consider them answered.

Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown had monster games on Sunday in a Week 7 over the Minnesota Vikings. They helped Philly snap its two-game skid and improve to 5-2 on the season.

Smith had the biggest day. His stats:

  • 9 catches
  • 183 receiving yards
  • 1 touchdown (79 yards)

Brown is the guy who has been speculated as a mid-season trade candidate. 

He won't be getting traded after this, though.

Brown's final stats in the win:

  • 4 catches
  • 121 receiving yards
  • 2 touchdowns

They helped Jalen Hurts put up a big day. He was 19-for-23 for 326 yards and those three passing touchdowns.

It had to feel very, very good for the Eagles.

The Vikings probably had to feel a bit unlucky that this was the time Philly remembered it had a pair of star WRs.

In the end, Philadelphia and its wide receivers all went home happy. There won't be any cryptic social media posts after this one.
