Three-touchdown games don’t come along often, especially for an undrafted rookie free agent like Eagles running back Corey Clement.

Even when Clement was “the man” at the University of Wisconsin, three-touchdown games were rare. He had only two of them.

The most recent came on Nov. 12, 2016, against Illinois. His other happened against Rutgers on Halloween of 2015.

Now, Clement has his first NFL hat-trick after scoring on a 15-yard inside screen pass from Carson Wentz and on runs from two and four yards. The Eagles demolished the visiting Denver Broncos, 51-23, on Sunday.

“Hopefully, when we come back for the next (game against Dallas on Nov. 19) I can put up three more, but at the same time you don’t want to be a selfish player,” Clement said after the game. “I’m just giving what I’m getting and trying to do my best for my teammates around me so we can get victories.”

Clement has five touchdowns on the season, three on the ground and two in the air. His three rushing scores lead the team, and his five overall leaves him tied for second, one behind Zach Ertz’s total of six. Also with five are Alshon Jeffery — after his two TDs on Sunday — and Nelson Agholor.

“He’s grown a bunch,” said quarterback Carson Wentz during his post-game press conference. “I’ve seen Corey all through training camp. He was just a guy that wanted to work, wanted to learn. He’s always ready whenever his number is called and it was today and he made the most of it. He’s a heckuva back, a heckuva teammate, and a heckuva player as well.”

Denver’s defense was ranked second against the run, giving up 79.2 yards per game. The Eagles put up 197 against them, with Clement earning 51 of those on a team-high 12 carries.

“As a running back group, you take a lot of pride in putting an amount of yardage on a great defense,” Clement said. “Our defense did a great job of making sure the offense did a good job running out there. We had fun out there, put some points on the board and we’re heading to bye week 8-1.”

The screen pass touchdown gave the Eagles a 17-3 lead with 53 seconds left in the first quarter.

“I just had to bait the D-end, give a good chip and turn back inside and make sure I stayed vertical,” said Clement, explaining the nifty play. “We did it good in practice. I think our practice really turned over into the game and allowed ourselves to have fun.”

His two-yard run made the score 38-9 and came off an option right. Wentz scooted that way, then, when Von Miller came at him, Wentz pitched to Clement who had a wide-open running lane.

“I was just waiting for Von Miller to crash inside and Carson was going to pitch it out,” Clement said. “The last touchdown (which concluded the scoring) was called to me so I just had to give a second effort and get in the end zone. It’s part of being a running back, you don’t want to be stopped once, so you keep pushing.”
