Seahawks rip Eagles
DK Metcalf again made the Eagles regret passing him up in the draft.
Metcalf caught 10 passes for 177 yards, Russell Wilson threw for 230 yards and a touchdown and the Seahawks beat the Eagles 23-17 on Monday night in Philadelphia.
The Seahawks (8-3) moved one game ahead of the Rams in the NFC West. The Eagles (3-7-1) fell a half-game behind the Giants and Washington in the woeful NFC East.
Carson Wentz didn’t cede many snaps to backup Jalen Hurts but had another rough game. He was 25-for- 45 for 215 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
Seattle’s defense entered the game allowing the most yards in the NFL and most yards passing but held Philadelphia’s inept offense to 250 yards.
Metcalf was on the board when the Eagles took J.J. Arcega-Whiteside in the second round with the 57th pick in 2019. Arcega-Whiteside has 12 career catches and was a healthy inactive before landing on the COVID-19 list.
The Eagles didn’t get a first down until Wentz ran for 20 yards with under five minutes left in the first half.
Ravens-Steelers moved to Wednesday
The Ravens’ struggle to contain an extended outbreak of the coronavirus forced their rescheduled game Tuesday night against the unbeaten Steelers to be moved back to Wednesday afternoon.
It’s the third fix to a matchup originally slated to be played Thanksgiving night. The game will remain on NBC but will kick off at 2:40 p.m. Also, the Steelers’ home game in Week 13 against Washington has been moved from Sunday to Monday at 4 p.m. The Ravens’ home game against Dallas will be next Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. on Fox and NFL Network. It was originally set for Thursday night, then moved to Monday.
Ravens- Steelers was moved back one more day for medical reasons, but now Baltimore gets some time for workouts. The NFL permitted the Ravens to return to their facility on Monday under doctors’ supervision.
