Wilson throws, catches, leads Seahawks past Eagles 26-15

Meanwhile, Pederson continued to believe in confused and stage-frightened wide receiver Nelson Agholor, who may have cost his team a chance at an upset and has just two TD catches since being drafted in the first round in 2015.

The Eagles did get a late garbage-time touchdown long after the outcome had been decided, but even with that all they had to show for their trip to the Pacific Northwest was 15 points, 308 yards, no plays of 30 yards and a fifth straight road loss. “I’m pressing so much and anxious about so many things”.

“I think we’ve been trying to call that the past four or five years”, Wilson said. Carson Wentz hit Zach Ertz on a screen play that went for a 57-yard touchdown.

Seattle has a three-game lead in the division, and only the Dallas Cowboys have won more games in the NFC. “And again, the well being of the player and the person (means more) to me than (his performance) as an athlete and receiver”. “But it was a big part of the game”. He then dropped what would have been at least a gain of 25, leading to an Eagles punt.

The offensive line committed its share of penalties – four in the first half alone – but in general this appeared another step in the right direction, and came despite being short-handed for a time. He was wide open.

Agholor had a key drop and another back-breaking miscue in the second quarter.

In the past three weeks, the offense has averaged 29.33 points per game, fifth-best in the NFL. He was stuffed at the goal line twice, though, and is less of a power back than he is a speedster. He finished with a career-low in completion percentage (51.1), but his two touchdown passes gave him his first multi-TD game since October 30 in a 29-23 loss against the Cowboys. What’s more, many of their superstars were not even first- or second-round picks. Seattle also got 17 snaps from defensive tackle John Jenkins in his first game with the team. We’re leaving big plays out there.

“I apologize for that”, Agholor said, addressing the fans. It’s something tough. I know they love this team and I love this team.

At 5-5, there is some solace in knowing the team is actually overachieving, and if fixing one position group would make a football team a Super Bowl contender, things can’t really be that bad.

That is the style Rawls said he’ll continue to deliver, as long as he can stay healthy. Fellow wide receiver Jordan Matthews talked to him after the mistakes, as did wide receivers coach Greg Lewis. Like I tell you guys, whatever it takes. At the same time, it’s like, ‘Bro, you’ve got to put it behind you and keep moving forward’. “And we’ll get back on the right track”. “Honestly I just chucked it up there and Russell made it look pretty”. Carroll is more than likely fine with that because his stint in the NCAA enabled him to be a hot head coaching candidate in the National Football League again.

There are plenty of ways to describe the game between the Eagles and Seahawks on Sunday, the one that ended in Seattle’s favor at 26-15. During the Seahawks’ current three-game winning streak, he’s completed 67.0 percent of his passes, averaged 9.6 yards per attempt and thrown six touchdowns without an interception. Philadelphia used four different halfbacks in a game that saw starter Ryan Mathews and veteran backup Darren Sproles sit out the second half due to injuries.

Wentz passed for 218 yards and two touchdowns but also threw two interceptions that led to seven Seahawks points.

Then Agholor self-destructed, and so did the Eagles. But just in case his ‘Hawks did need an extra boost, Carroll dialed up that split-end reverse pass from Baldwin to Wilson, which had the whole stadium buzzing for the rest of the day.

“In storms, things clear up”, Agholor said.
