Zach Ertz has said that he hopes to continue his recent form with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The rookie tight end hauled in five catches for 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns during the team's 24-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week.

The 23-year-old told reporters: "I've had a big impact the past couple of weeks and hopefully it continues. Everybody says the big difference is the speed of the game and I think the game's kind of slowed down for me."

Teammate Brandon Boykin added: "You can see him working on his fundamentals every day, practising fast and it carries over to Sunday where it's second nature. He's a mismatch wherever he lines up. He's not really just a tight end. He's fast. He's tall. He has the ability to catch as good as a receiver."

The Eagles host the Detroit Lions this Sunday.
