LONDON — A character win, enormous commitments from a couple startling sources, empowering signs from Carson Wentz and substantially more in 10 Instant Observations off an appalling however essential Eagles win.
The score: 24-18 over the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
Man, the Eagles don't make it simple on themselves, isn't that right?
1. This was not a simple week with medium-term travel Thursday into Friday, a training on no rest and after that an amusement only two days after the fact. This was appalling and it was terrifying and it was not the sort of football you need to see the Eagles playing, yet they merit credit for doing combating through it and figuring out how to get a win they needed to have. There's bounty to censure and changes are important. However, winning beats losing, and 24-18 over the Jaguars at Wembley is the most critical thing. Be that as it may, there is certainly a ton of work to be finished.
2. This is two weeks consecutively now where the Eagles' barrier has battled in the final quarter, and Jim Schwartz needs to make sense of why this continues happening soon. The Eagles permitted 21 final quarter focuses in that crumple a week ago and the harm was less this week — two final quarter field objectives — however the Jaguars moved the collect and down the field on their last two drives, and the harm would have been more regrettable if a completely open DJ Clark Jr. hadn't dropped a simple TD go with seven minutes left. The Eagles permitted focuses on five straight final quarter drives before at last getting a pivotal stop with 3½ minutes to go and an important lead. Not great.
3. Two things I extremely loved from Wentz Sunday: I enjoyed how he utilized every one of his recipients rather than simply securing on Zach Ertz and Alshon Jeffery. Truth be told, four diverse folks had a catch of 30 yards or increasingly and none of them were Ertz and Jeffery. Furthermore, I simply like how he managed an extremely unpleasant begin — turnovers on the initial two drives out of the blue since the Giants amusement in 2016. He ricocheted back and completed with regular Wentz numbers — 21 for 30 (70 percent) for 286 yards, with three TDs and the one block attempt. Enormous bounce back from a rough begin.
4. Jordan Matthews is another of those folks that fans love to abhor for the wrongdoing of … I don't know precisely why fans don't care for him. Also, I don't generally mind. Yet, he's a decent player, and he's assisted since coming back to the Eagles. He was tremendous Sunday, with four gets for 93 yards, including two major third-down gets and a 36-yarder to set up the Eagles' final quarter TD.
5. It's difficult to envision that the Eagles just have four block attempts down the middle a season. They had a shot no less than three of them Sunday and came up void. They appear to get their hands on a considerable measure of balls and simply miss INTs constantly. These are plays they need to make. Particularly against folks like Blake Bortles.
6. Need to cherish the way Avonte Maddox has been playing, and he was enormous Sunday. In the first place, he exploded Carlos Hyde on a third and-1 in the principal quarter for lost one and afterward he constrained a Keelan Cole bobble that Malcolm Jenkins recouped with a major hit just before halftime.
7. Josh Adams resembles a player, and I don't get why he doesn't remain in the diversion when he has the hot hand. On the Eagles' first TD drive he had keeps running of seven and five yards and afterward vanished for two drives. Next time he's in? Profession long 21-yard run. At that point he includes an enormous 17-yard increase down to the 7-yard line to set up the Eagles' final quarter touchdown. Extremely jump at the chance to see the back — whoever it is — that is moving the chains get an opportunity to remain on the field. Adams just ran nine times Sunday (for 61 yards). That number must be higher when he's running this way.
8. Dallas Goedert is one noteworthy youngster. That touchdown was a decent catch, as well as he was extremely forceful shedding Quenton Meeks at the 10-yard line and discovering his way into the end zone. You can simply observe Goedert getting increasingly agreeable every week. The child unquestionably has a sense about the end zone. He has three TDs in his initial eight amusements, which makes him the Eagles' first tight end with three TDs in his initial eight diversions since Charle Young in 1973.
9. There have been much such a large number of cases this year where the offense assembles an incredible drive and scores a significant touchdown and afterward the safeguard just turns out and gives that touchdown appropriate back. It happened a week ago in the Carolina misfortune after a 90-yard Eagles TD drive and it happened again Sunday after the Eagles took a 17-6 lead with another 90-yard drive. A stop would have extremely given them order of the amusement, yet they let Bortles drive the Jaguars 75 yards down the field, which just shouldn't occur. This protection needs to make sense of an approach to create an impression after the offense scores a major TD and complete a group off.
10. The Eagles certainly have a few inquiries to reply in all out attack mode line. Wentz was sacked four more occasions Sunday and on the majority of them, he simply had no way. The exchange due date is Tuesday, and if Lane Johnson is out for a lot of time and with Jason Peters sort of perpetually stumbled, it's a zone the Eagles need to take a gander at. Huge V and Isaac Seumalo did their best Sunday to hold it down, yet in case you will get this season right, you must be better in advance.
