Before the season began, it was almost expected that the Eagles would win their first two games. Cleveland and Chicago aren’t very good. But before the season, Sam Bradford was supposed to be the one that led Philadelphia to a…

Carson Wentz won the city after one touchdown drive. It’s inappropriate to anoint Wentz as this chosen one after one game. Wentz hasn’t faced different defensive looks. He’s had one opportunity to showcase his abilities, and he passed. But no…
