Back to the game…
Carson Wentz was 17 of 29 for 189 yards. However, he missed some of the open passes, and the Eagles couldn’t keep the momentum early. Then again, Wentz did not need to do much because the Jets (0-4) constantly gives the ball back to the Eagles.

The Eagles, fortunately, had one more chance to extend their lead after Rodney McLeod blocked Falk, handing the Eagles the ball at 42 of the Jets with the remaining 2 minutes in the first half.
Wentz limited the drive to an 11-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz.
