LANDOVER, Md. – The Eagles opened the 2017 season with a sound 30-17 victory and ended a five-game losing streak to the Redskins. Here’s what we learned:
- Carson Wentz is a magician. Do the Eagles win without Wentz’s antics while under pressure? Maybe. But two of the big plays from the game don’t happen unless the second-year quarterback escapes from defenders in the pocket. The first will be shown on Wentz highlight reels for years to come. Faced with third and long – and after he underthrew Torrey Smith deep on the Eagles’ first offensive play of the game – Wentz was under duress after the Redskins cut off his first reads.
