“Just stay together and just finish the game.” That was the advice given from Doug Pederson to Carson Wentz before he walked out on the field for a crucial fourth-quarter drive. The Eagles did exactly that and in a game that was slowly beginning to show signs of yet another offensive collapse, they got the job done.
Carson Wentz led the Eagles down the field in a drive that lasted over eight minutes and ended in a field goal that pushed the Bears into a situation where they’d have to drive the length of the field, score a touchdown, and convert a 2-pt attempt, just to keep the game alive.
