Eagles-Panthers: Michael Irvin is on the ‘Wentz wagon’

Irvin, the Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys receiver who works these days as an analyst on the NFL Network, praised Wentz last week following his performance against the New York Giants. Now Irvin is doubling-down on the young quarterback as the team hopes to continue to rebound against the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon.

"He can put up about 30 points a game and when he does that, Philly is hard to beat. They're back to Super Bowl form," Irvin said on NFL Gameday Sunday morning.

Irvin said that one of the strengths of the Cowboys during their Super Bowl runs during the 1990s was their ability to get a lead and just feed the ball to Hall of Fame Running back Emmitt Smith, a dynamic he thinks Wentz is duplicating this season due to the team's injury-depleted backfield.
