Philadelphia Eagles second-year quarterback Carson Wentz threw for 199 yards and four touchdowns en route to Sunday's 51-23 victory over the Denver Broncos. Now 8-1, Philadelphia has reached the nine-game mark with their best record since 2004.
This also marks the fifth time in franchise history that the Eagles have opened the season with a record of 8-1 or better, per NFL Communications. The team advanced to the NFL Championship/Super Bowl in each of the four previous occasions.
Leading the charge for Philadelphia has been Wentz, a 24-year-old product of North Dakota State.
