Carson Wentz and Nick Foles both started slowly for Eagles | Marcus Hayes
Eagles quarterbacks Carson Wentz (left) and Nick Foles warm up before the team’s game against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 10, 2017, in Los Angeles.The first two starts were uninspiring.
Four touchdowns, but two interceptions; sacked eight times; an 89.3 passer rating. The offense scored 44 points, true, but it sputtered. There were problems along the offensive line, there was no real chemistry between the quarterback and his receivers, and an unimposing team from the AFC West called into question the quality of the Eagles’ attack.
Carson Wentz & Co. didn’t look great after his first two starts of 2017.
Why, then, should Nick Foles & Co. look much better?
