By now, Eagles fans have probably pinched themselves several times over and realizing that this was no dream. The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-0.
If that wasn't good enough, how about a 34-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team widely regarded to be a Super Bowl contender. The Eagles made a huge statement to the rest of the NFL with that one.
In a game so dominant, the excitement reaches new heights as the Eagles soared to victory on Sunday. Here are this week's grades.
Pass Offense – A-
Three games, 102 pass attempts, 66 completions, 769 yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions and a passer rating of 104.5. No other quarterback in NFL history has played the first three games of his career like that.
But it's about more than the numbers for Carson Wentz. The play he made to Darren Sproles in the third quarter for a 73-yard touchdown said it all. The poise in the pocket was apparent, but the wherewithal to stay behind the line of scrimmage, buy time and place a perfect pass to Sproles along the sidelines, fully recognizing the matchup and coverage, was something so far beyond his years. This is a veteran quarterback with a rookie label.
The rest of the pass offense helped out plenty as well. Wentz had eight incompletions in the game. A couple of them came off of bad throws or the rare occasion that he faced pressure. Drops were limited and when they happened, the confident Wentz wasn't afraid to go back and target that receiver again.
At the end of the day, Wentz's first 300-plus passing yard game was a beauty, and it has the Eagles off to their best start in years.
Run Offense – B-
It's hard to grade this unit without knowing exactly what's up with Ryan Mathews. The running back was very limited on Sunday and didn't have any success when he was in the game. It's believed a nagging ankle injury has something to do with that.
But, after a rather lackluster first half, Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner helped get the running game going and each scored touchdowns while also breaking off some solid runs. It's a work in progress, but there is progress and solid depth at the position.
Pass Defense – B+
Ben Roethlisberger completed 22 passes for 257 yards — though he was also sacked four times for a loss of 35 yards — and Antonio Brown had 12 catches for 140 yards. Here's where the pass defense had a good day. When it wasn't Roethlisberger finding Brown, the Steelers completed 12 passes on 26 attempts for 117 yards.
While Brown was going to be the catalyst, the Eagles held him in check and his key catches were spaced apart in such a way that it kept the Steelers off the scoreboard. The Eagles also got another interception from Rodney McLeod and after a few early third-down conversions, struggled to get first downs and keep the Eagles defense on the field.
Jalen Mills had a rough day trying to cover Brown and the rest of the Steelers wide receivers, but when a defense holds a team like this to three points, no touchdowns and no points in the second half, that's as good as it gets.
Run Defense – A+
DeAngelo Williams entered the game as the NFL's leading rusher with 237 rushing yards. On Sunday, he carried the ball eight times for 21 yards. The Steelers only two other carries went for eight yards. Enough said. This defense is scary good against the run.
Special Teams – A-
When you don't have a lot to say about special teams, it's been a good day.
Bennie Logan helped set the tone with a blocked field goal early. Donnie Jones didn't have to punt until there were 38 seconds left in the first half. Caleb Sturgis made two field goals to help the Eagles build a lead in the first half before the offense really hit another gear in the second half. The return team and kick coverage teams performed well again. Not much more needs to be said. A total team effort got it done on Sunday in a very convincing way.
