Sunday a reminder of why the Eagles need Carson Wentz
Nick Foles did everything that was asked of him and more, but Sunday's loss in Tampa reflects the need for a QB who can be special on a regular basis.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
Eagles TE Zach Ertz on Carson Wentz: "I can't wait to get him back, whenever that is. But at the same time, we can't expect him to be Superman, either. This is going to be his first NFL game in nine months, first live bullets in nine months. We've got a lot of talent on the offense where he shouldn't have to feel like he's got to come in and solve all our problems."
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
Eagles T Jason Peters on Carson Wentz's pending return: "Excited. I know the guy is going to get out there and try to make plays for us...He's the franchise quarterback. I'm happy for him to be even be back."
Fitzpatrick shines again, Buccaneers stun Eagles 27-21
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for more than 400 yards and four touchdowns for the second straight week, leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 27-21 victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
The Eagles have some issues to deal with coming out of their 27-21 loss to the Bucs. Key players (Jason Peters, Mike Wallace) got banged up and there was a lack of discipline and execution on both sides of the ball. But the winds are about to shift. Carson Wentz is expected to make his return next week, which will likely invigorate this team and keep the sting of this loss from lingering.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
Blown assignments, poor execution and surprisingly conservative play-calling from coach Doug Pederson hurt the Eagles in the first half. A normally stingy Eagles D yielded two TD passes of 75 yards, and the Nick Foles-led offense hasn't been able to keep up. Much to fix to erase Tampa's 20-7 lead.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
The Eagles have been hit with a rash of injuries in the first half. WR Mike Wallace (ankle) has been ruled out. RB Jay Ajayi (back) and LT Jason Peters (quad) currently sidelined as well.
Tim McManus ESPN Staff Writer
Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is questionable to return with a back injury.
