My five top reasons why the Eagles were able to beat the Falcons Thursday night without Carson Wentz, Nigel Bradham and Alshon Jeffery:
Red zone as in dead zone
The fact that the Falcons had five red-zone opportunities against the Eagles isn’t a good thing. That’s the most any team has had against them since Week 3 late year when the Giants also have five.
But the fact that the Eagles held the Falcons to one touchdown and nine total points on those five trips inside the 20 is a very good thing.
The Falcons had a second-and-goal at the 1 on their first possession of the game, but failed to get in.
