Alshon Jeffery plays through broken ribs, drops big pass late in loss

Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery played through cracked ribs during Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, according to multiple reports. While he caught five passes for 63 yards in the game, he also dropped a pass late in the fourth quarter that wound up being intercepted by the Saints as the Eagles were attempting to drive down for a game-winning touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

Unfortunately for Jeffery, what will be remembered most about this game is his big drop that ended up wiping out any chance that the Eagles had to come back and win this game. He had a down year in 2018, catching 65 passes for 843 yards and six touchdowns, but both he and starting quarterback Carson Wentz were rehabbing all offseason and did not play until a few weeks into the season. With a full offseason to recover and participate in training camp, Jeffery will be looking to bounce back with better numbers next season.
