Watch: Alshon Jeffrey makes ridiculous catch to give Eagles Super Bowl lead

Jack O'Toole

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey made a ridiculous catch to give his side an early lead in Super Bowl LII in Minnesota.

With the Eagles on the New England Patriots 34-yard line, quarterback Nick Foles spotted Jeffrey with a one-on-one matchup with Patriots defensive back Eric Rowe.

Foles noticed the mismatch and launched a superb strike to Jeffrey’s back shoulder with the 5 ft 11 in receiver doing a brilliant job at rotating his body and hauling in a magnificent catch for an Eagles score.

The Eagles currently lead the Patriots 9-3 at the time of writing.
