The Eagles are more than just Carson Wentz. They don’t want to have to prove it on a weekly basis, but on a Sunday when the offense was fallible, and the defense dominating against a woeful 49ers offense, it didn’t matter that Wentz didn’t bring his “A” game.
But it could next week against the Broncos, or after the bye at the emerging Cowboys, or against any team that stands between the Eagles and seemingly elevated expectations. They thumped the 49ers, 33-10, and afterward there were about as many questions focused on offensive inefficiency as there were on defensive accomplishment.
