Alex Smith Notches First TD Pass Since 2018
After taking over for an injured Kyle Allen, Alex Smith notched his first touchdown pass since November 11th, 2018 — a week before his much-talked-about and gruesome injury.
Smith, who had been playing well since relieving Allen, found Terry McLaurin, who then broke a few tackles en route to a 68-yard touchdown.
