EAGLES STATISTICS
Andrew Nyheim Hines, Marlon Mack Jordan Wilkins lanes.
Eagles’ keys to victory: With QB Carson Wentz back starting, the Eagles will have to get back to establishing a healthy run/pass balance with the emphasis on establishing some physicality from the outset. Wentz missed the Eagles’ first two games while continuing to recover after tearing knee ligaments last December. He was enjoying a breakout season in his second year in the NFL before the injury, recording 33 touchdown passes against just seven interceptions. Establishing the deep ball will be key.
Matchup to watch: Colts WR T.Y. Hilton vs. Eagles defensive backs. On defense, the Eagles need to clean up their coverage issues and surely will expect Luck and Hilton to go deep after watching all the success the Buccaneers had with that tactic vs. the Eagles.
Who wins? With Wentz’s return and the Eagles defense usually playing much better at home, we can expect the team’s intensity to improve.
