WHAT TO WATCH

MISSING JACKSON

The Eagles have just two catches of 30-plus yards from a receiver since DeSean Jackson had TD receptions of 53 and 51 yards in a 32-27 season-opening win against Washington. Jackson hasn’t played since Week 2 because of an abdomen injury. Alshon Jeffery (30yards) and Nelson Agholor (43) have the two other long receptions. Both players had tough weeks. Jeffery denied he was the anonymous source in a report that criticized Carson Wentz and the offensive scheme. Agholor had to defend himself from criticism after failing to track the ball well on a deep pass from Wentz.

DEEP INCOMPLETE

Bills quarterback Josh Allen faced questions over his inability to complete deep passes this season after failing to connect with both John Brown and Andre Roberts against Miami. His longest completion is a 51-yarder to Cole Beasley in Week 2. Next on the list is Dawson Knox’s 49-yard pass, in which the tight end did most of the work with 34 yards after catch. “I wouldn’t say it’s frustrating. Obviously, you want to hit every throw that you put out there,” Allen said. “Haven’t been doing a good enough job with that, if I’m getting all these questions.”

WHO DO YOU LOVE?

Bills coach Sean McDermott winked when asked if he has a particular affinity for Tre’Davious White, because the cornerback was the first player the Bills drafted after he took over in 2017. “I love all my guys,” McDermott said of White, whose two takeaways led to touchdowns against Miami. “You know if I say yes, then the whole team’s going to get on me. It’s like my kids.”

STOPPING THE RUN

The Eagles were excellent against the run until Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott became the first to top 100 yards against them since he did it last season. Elliott had 111 of Dallas’ 189 yards rushing. The Bills are seventh in rushing with an average of 135.8 yards per game, and led by 15-year veteran Frank Gore, who has 388 yards and is averaging 4.5 yards a carry. If that’s not all, opponents must contend with Allen, who’s second on the team with 190 yards rushing. “It’s not just his athleticism, it’s their willingness to run him,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said, noting it’s similar to how Carolina uses Cam Newton. “They have probably a more varied run game than any team we’ve faced.”
