Alshon Jeffery was a monster at times against the New Orleans Saints, and in the end, he ended up being one of the reason’s the Birds went on to lose. What can’t be questioned, is the star wide receivers toughness. After the Eagles 20-16 loss to the Saints in New Orleans, it was revealed that Jeffery played the game with cracked ribs.

Could tell how well liked Alshon Jeffery is. Teammates all went out of their way in locker room to make it clear that his drop wasn’t the reason for the loss. Also: Lane Johnson said Jeffery was playing through broken ribs. — Sheil Kapadia (@SheilKapadia) January 14, 2019

For Jeffery, who’s helped carry the Eagles into the playoffs, its a definite bummer considering he truly has some of the best hands in the NFL, and coming into the ballgame, had only had 2 total drops.
