What a first half from the Eagles. Despite a couple ugly drives from the offense, Wentz and company were able to make plays and move the ball pretty well. Nelson Agholor scored a touchdown for God’s sake. Unfortunately, the defense was leaky in the first half. Far too many opportunities for Shepard, Cruz and Beckham. The pick six was nice, but not indicative of the overall performance of the half.

Overview

What a game. Not everything was pretty tonight. Wentz made a few rookie mistakes and the defense had a hard time shutting down the Giants offense, but it was enough for the Eagles to win their sixth game of the season. It’s hard not to be excited be Carson Wentz’s mental (and physical) toughness. The Eagles were opportunistic which, in the end, won them the game.

Additional notes

Carson Wentz left the game with what looked like a concussion, but returned to the game and played very well. Look for updates on Wentz’s condition going into next week.

Ryan Mathews left the game with a stinger and did not return. Eagles have very few running backs and losing him would be problematic.

Jordan Hicks also left the game for a brief period of time, but did eventually return to action.
