I feel bad for the Eagles. Sure, they offered little on Sunday night against Seattle, but they were one Carson Wentz concussion away from a trip to Lambeau Field. Wentz looked solid against the Seahawks, but there was one play that impressed me most in his short time on the field. I think it was the second play of the game for the Eagles: a HB toss that running back Miles Sanders thought was a sweep. The play was botched, with Sanders fumbling the ball and looking like a huge 10 yard loss. However, Wentz showed tremendous presence of mind to scoop the loose ball up and launch it out of bounds - within range of an eligible receiver. The Eagles still lost a down, but there was no yardage lost by the mess-up due to Wentz’s quick thinking. I’ve been admittedly slow to join the Wentz bandwagon, but he won me over with something as small and irrelevant as that play. Soon after that, the game was gone for Philadelphia. Wentz was hit hard from behind by Jadeveon Clowney, with the weight of the hit slamming the quarterback’s head into the ground. He was subsequently ruled out, with Josh McCown stepping in. McCown played well, throwing for 174 yards on a 75% completion rate, but it was not the same. Philly have spent all their backup quarterback magic on Foles from a few years ago, allowing Wilson to lead his Seahawks to Wisconsin. This was a tough game to watch - the one spectacular play came from D.K. Metcalf, who scored the winning touchdown on a spectacular 53-yard play where the rookie receiver went to ground to catch the ball before getting to his feet, holding off Maddox and diving over the line. I still think the Seahawks can potentially win against the Packers, but they will need a better performance than the one they provided in Philadelphia.

Player of the Game: D.K. Metcalf (Seattle Seahawks) - 7 receptions, 160 yards, TD.
