Unlike the dinosaurs in the NFC East, the Eagles are a fine fit for the modern NFL | Mike Sielski

Carson Wentz threw two touchdown passes to Alshon Jeffery last Thursday night in a 34-13 victory at MetLife Stadium, and together, the two plays demonstrated just how far ahead the Eagles are of the Giants, the rest of the division, and most of the NFC.

Take the first touchdown, in which Wentz put all his athletic gifts on full display. He evaded the Giants' pass-rushers and, though he committed the cardinal quarterbacking sin of throwing the football across his body, arrowed a pass to Jeffery for a 16-yard score. Now, take the second touchdown, on a one-yard pass that you or I could have completed.
