When Dallas Goedert hauled in another touchdown catch against the Bills on Sunday, Hall of Fame quarterback and FOX TV analyst Tom Brady exclaimed, ‘It seems like that’s Goedert’s 75th touchdown this season!”
That was only a slight exaggeration from the 7-time Super Bowl champion, as Goedert’s score was his 11th of the year. That breaks the single-season team record for a tight end that Goedert was sharing with another former Jackrabbit, Pete Retzlaff. The man once known around here as the Britton Bomber has one more game to add to his record before taking the Eagles into the playoffs.
