Eagles at Seahawks Recap, Highlights, Final Score, More

The Eagles, with rookie quarterback Carson Wentz facing one of the NFL’s top defenses, fought to the end. The Eagles have lost four in a row away from home and Wentz has struggled in the first quarter in a few of those games. Garbage time made the numbers a little prettier in the box score but did nothing to change the fact that the Eagles’ offense is sputtering right now. Agholor has averaged just 9.8 yards per game this season, another sign of his inability to generate big plays and add yards after the catch. The 49ers hit the road for games the next two weeks against Miami and Chicago.

-Philadelphia receiver Nelson Agholor is taking a lot of heat this season, and Sunday’s game isn’t likely to silence the critics. The Eagles have been great at home this season, winning and covering in all four games this season at Lincoln Financial. “If you look at the film, there are plays where I’m open, but other players are open on the same play, too”. He has spent the first 11 weeks on the practice squad and now gets his chance to prove he should play.

“We don’t count on anything except for the way we work”, Wilson said when asked about the team’s habit of finishing strong. Over the last 10 years, 164 different National Football League players have more receiving yards in their first 23 games. Through 10 games, 64.0 percent of their plays have been called passes, which is 11th-most.

“When you start tapping into that and understand, ‘OK I get guys here that actually care about me, ‘ then you can actually go play carefree”, Matthews said. “So we do the best we can with what we got called”. There are going to be mistakes. Here’s what we learned.

Another week, another big win. On his drop, he actually ran a nice route and created several yards of separation against Richard Sherman, but then he let the ball fall to the ground.

Tomorrow will be a tough test for the Birds but they showed plenty of times this season that they can play with anybody. Wentz has been up and down.

The Eagles appeared to take the lead on a 57-yard catch-and-run by tight end Zach Ertz midway through the second quarter.

-Several players missed time during a physical second half, with both teams losing their starting halfbacks along the way.

Philly.com says the better team simply won on Sunday. “Dropping the ball, false start penalties, holding penalties, pick penalties”.

While Wilson was playing hurt, the production from Baldwin never really stopped, and it’s continued now with the offense rolling.

“Something is going on here, we have to work our way through it. But right now? Can’t do it”.

5 consecutive road losses for Eagles.

Sure, there were other factors in the Eagles’ 26-15 loss to the Seahawks, including a defense that gave up 300 total yards in the first half – just three yards less than they allowed for the entire game the week before against Atlanta. “[Bevell] knows that when we get in the red zone, I want the ball thrown to me”. “Just not clean, not crisp”.

“You’re not going to win a ballgame throwing slants the whole game”.

“He just looked at me and laughed”, Baldwin said.

Same thing, week after week.

“Well, again, it’s all speculation, obviously, but I think sometimes as athletes, you put so much pressure on yourself to perform”, Pederson said.
