Alshon Jeffery – Noteworthy
WR Alshon Jeffery was held in check by Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey as Jeffery finished with four catches for just 35 yards.
Carson Wentz – Noteworthy
QB Carson Wentz completed 21 of 30 passes (70 percent), good for the 286 yards and three touchdowns. He did have one interception and lost a fumble but otherwise was solid throughout. He drew the praise of his coach afterwards.
“Eliminate those two turnovers, I thought he played extremely well,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. “Led the team, played well, played tough. Made some tough scrambles for some first downs. Hung in there. Just made a couple great throws on those touchdowns to the tight ends, then obviously the screen pass to Wendell. Yeah, I thought he played aggressive. He played hard. He played tough. Really kept us in the game.”
Wentz spread the ball around among his 21 completions, connecting with eight receivers including himself. He caught a batted ball and dove forward for a first down that kept an Eagles drive going. His TD tosses were 32 yards to Dallas Goedert, 5 yards to Zach Ertz and 36 yards to Wendell Smallwood. Four Wentz passes went for more than 30 yards and were to four different receivers — Nelson Agholor (39 yards), Jordan Matthews (36), Smallwood (36) and Goedert (32). The Eagles top receiver, Alshon Jeffery, was held in check by Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey as Jeffery finished with four catches for just 35 yards.
