Damn.
Zach Ertz is the real deal:
How tough is #Eagles TE Zach Ertz? He suffered a fractured rib last night and somehow played and helped put Philly on the doorstep of the playoffs.

Ertz almost found himself broken in half when Carson Wentz sailed a first quarter pass on him. He went off to the sidelines for a bit, into the medical tent, and then came out and finished the game, catching four of six targets for 28 yards. Dallas Goedert really stepped it up in his absence.
He was the only Dallas to score a touchdown last night.
heyooooooooo!
