Carson Wentz already taking blame for teammates' mistakes

by Jimmy Kempski

Facing third and 10 from just outside the Redskins' 10 yard line with about five and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter on Sunday, rookie quarterback Carson Wentz faced a blitz in which the Redskins sent seven rushers, and his recognition was put to the test. As he has done against the blitz all season long, Wentz knew where his hot read was, and he quickly flicked a pass to tight end Zach Ertz, who likely would have walked in for a score. Except... Mmmmmm drrrop.

As we noted earlier this week, the Philadelphia Eagles will come into their Week 6 matchup very healthy, as they have in every other game this season. The Redskins, on the other hand, come into this matchup very banged up.

Cowboys beat writer believes Tony Romo won't be ready for Week 8 Eagles game

by Jimmy Kempski

Any other year over the last decade, Philadelphia Eagles fans would be more than happy to face whatever scrub backup quarterback the Cowboys had on their depth chart behind Tony Romo. This year, with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott playing well in Romo's absence, some Eagles fans might actually prefer Romo.
