Marquez Callaway goes three weeks with a receiving touchdown

If there is one person in the receiving game that has shined in recent weeks is Marquez Callaway. The second-year wideout had a huge game back in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team, where he scored two touchdowns, one of which came on a Hail Mary pass from Jameis Winston.

After a two week lull after New Orleans’ bye, Callaway has himself a bit of a streak going.

In Week 9 against the Falcons, the wide receiver scored a five-yard touchdown to cut their deficit to 24-13 in the fourth quarter. This past week, Siemian hit Callaway in the end zone on a 15-yard pass with a little over a minute remaining in regulation. It could have been a game-tying touchdown had the Saints converted on the two-point attempt.

Given that, seeing Callaway catch a pass in the end zone or run into the end zone after a reception would not be a shocking thing to see in Philadelphia.
