Eagles fall to Seattle for fifth straight road loss
Watch online: You can watch the live stream on the NFL’s mobile app or DirecTV’s National Football League app. Since they had the tie against the Cardinals a few weeks ago, they have compiled a record of 2-1 that is basically the reason for why they are where they are. On Sunday afternoon, the Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 26-15, as reported by ESPN.
“We’re getting better”, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.
While Wilson became an elite player in Seattle, the Eagles went through Foles, Michael Vick, Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford before landing Carson Wentz with the No. 2 overall pick this year.
“Never do I ever attempt to hit someone in the head”.
The touchdown helped break open the game and typified an afternoon when the Seattle offense feasted on big plays for a third straight week.
“When you live in this area, that is pretty natural”, Bev said. “You can’t talk to the guy next to you”.
(At) Washington 42, Green Bay 24: Kirk Cousins (Michigan State) went deep late and often, throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns to lead Washington past free-falling Green Bay. Yet the game was not settled until the very end when Tom Brady failed to take four chances from within two yards of the Seahawks goal line. Odhiambo was the only backup tackle the Seahawks had after deciding to make veterans Bradley Sowell and J’Marcus Webb inactive for the game.
Seattle piled up 300 yards of offense on the way to a 16-7 halftime lead. “We’ve got to bring the party with us”. But that’s just normal at this point. “You know me, I’m going to get fired up after a one-yard run. I’m anxious about so many things”.
EAGLES KEY TRENDS: The Eagles are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games in November and have failed to win at the betting window in all four of their last four road games.
“Their sample size is a lot bigger, they’ve done it for a lot longer, they’ve had a lot of success, they got a bunch of Pro Bowl players on every level of their defense”, Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said earlier in the week. “They prepare all week and the third run of the game, bam, he takes off”. “You maybe do some things that are uncharacteristic of what you do at home, and we just can’t do that”. The Seattle Seahawks were hoping that he would be the one to replace Marshawn Lynch as their starting running back.
Thomas Rawls should receive an uptick in carries and production in Prosise’s absence. Though Ryan Mathews ended a team drought by breaking the 100-yard rushing mark last week, the passing game is dysfunctional.
BALL CONTROL: The Eagles rank second in the National Football League in time of possession (32:28) and controlled the ball for 38:10 in their win over the Falcons. His one carry was for minus-5 yards. It’s no secret that a balanced attack is Philadelphia’s formula for success.
But to watch the rest of this game and think Wentz was the problem would be ignorant. But that’s the respect Pederson has for the venue as well as the Seahawks.
There is much season still to go, of course, and the list of wounded on Sunday was a grim reminder of the how the physical toll can impact the roster of even the best teams – though Rawls’ absence itself had been reminder enough. It is a game that could have playoff implications in the NFC. “I’m not going to say it lost the game because there were so many other plays”.
