Philadelphia Eagles' 34-year-old wide receiver Julio Jones is ending 2023 on a high note. 

In just the first half of Sunday's New Year's Eve matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, Jones reeled in not one, but two touchdowns. 

It's the first time in three years since the former Atlanta Falcons seven-time Pro Bowler logged two TDs in one game. 

Jones's first one was a 12-yard endzone pass from Jalen Hurts at the end of the first quarter. 

And just before halftime, Jones connected with Hurts again off of a tipped pass for a 22-yard touchdown. 

Hurts finished the first two quarters completing 11 of 13 passes for 114 yards, with 2 touchdowns and zero interceptions. 

The Eagles headed into the locker room at the half up 21-6.
