Eagles News: Peter King has a theory why Philadelphia was able to stop their slump

FMIA Week 6: Chiefs-Patriots Leaves Expectations in the Rearview - FMIA
I think I’ve got the offensive slump/revival of the Eagles figured out. It’s the Alshon Jeffery factor. The reasons: Jeffery’s the favorite wideout of Carson Wentz. They went nine months and two weeks without playing in the same game. Wentz needs a big and reliable target downfield, because he’s always going to take chances downfield, and his coach is going to call plays for the big and reliable wideout. They didn’t practice full-speed much at all in the offseason because of injuries and rehabs of each.
