PHILADELPHIA – Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he didn’t make the final call on who his starting quarterback would be for the Atlanta Falcons game until Monday, even though Carson Wentz had still not been medically cleared for contact.
For the past two weeks, he was chippy with the media over quarterback questions and reports, and was visibly frustrated during and after the team’s “dress rehearsal” against the Cleveland Browns when the first-team offense, again, failed to score a point.
The product on the field Thursday night helped explain where some of that agita was coming from.
