Tanner McKee replaced Kenny Pickett, who aggravated his rib injury early in the fourth quarter.
McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023, threw a touchdown pass on his third career attempt. A.J. Brown caught McKee’s 20-yard touchdown pass, and without thinking about what it meant for McKee, the Eagles receiver threw the football into the stands.
After reaching the sideline, Brown was reminded that it was McKee’s first touchdown pass.
He immediately reacted by putting his hands to his head in regret.
The Eagles head of security, Big Dom DiSandro, saved the day. He went to retrieve the ball, with Brown indicating to the fan that he would give him his jersey postgame if the fan returned the football.
The fan mouthed, “I got you,” to Brown and threw the football back to the DiSandro.
McKee is 2-of-3 for 29 yards and a touchdown.
