The third-year wideout reached triple digits in receiving yards for the first time since Week 2, although Smith got to exactly 99 in two of his last three games coming into Sunday. He also scored for the third time in the last four games, with his 15-yard catch from Jalen Hurts kicking off a wild fourth quarter that saw the two teams combine for 24 points. Smith has a 23-355-3 line on 26 targets over that four-game stretch, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 13 clash with the 49ers that could be an NFC Conference Championship Game preview.

The third-year wideout reached triple digits in receiving yards for the first time since Week 2, although Smith got to exactly 99 in two of his last three games coming into Sunday. He also scored for the third time in the last four games, with his 15-yard catch from Jalen Hurts kicking off a wild fourth quarter that saw the two teams combine for 24 points. Smith has a 23-355-3 line on 26 targets over that four-game stretch, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 13 clash with the 49ers that could be an NFC Conference Championship Game preview.
Smith accounted for the majority of Jalen Hurts' 150 passing yards while A.J. Brown produced just eight receiving yards. Smith's biggest catch was a 41-yard reception down to the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, which set up Hurts' go-ahead rushing touchdown on the next play. That touchdown with 6:20 left in the fourth quarter ended up being the game-winner. Smith had a two-game touchdown streak snapped, but he tied his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season, giving the 2021 first-round draft pick some momentum heading into a Week 12 home game against the Bills.
Smith saw position mate A.J. Brown put together another standout performance that included a record sixth straight game with 125-plus receiving yards, but the former wasn't too far behind in his Week 8 numbers. Smith finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Brown on the afternoon, and he hit the Commanders for another long touchdown at FedEx Field when he got free down the left side for a 38-yard scoring grab just before the halfway point of the fourth quarter. Smith's score snapped a five-game touchdown drought for the talented third-year wideout, who'll next face an aggressive Cowboys defense in a Week 9 home showdown.
