One of the more frustrating aspects of the Eagles’ offensive struggles is the extent to which they sometimes don’t have them.
On the first drive of Saturday night’s must-win game, the team needed only six plays, three minutes and two Washington penalties to drive 80 yards for a touchdown. One highlight was a nifty bit of play action that pulled up the linebackers and gave tight end Zach Ertz space to get behind them.
The disguise on this play was particularly convincing, as the three interior linemen all shot left at the snap, mimicking their action on an actual outside run.
