In a highly-anticipated game that marked a new era in Eagles football, the Eagle with all eyes on him delivered.
Carson Wentz's debut will serve as a memorable moment for Eagles fans for a long time, especially if the era proves to be a successful one. For now, there is just one game, a 29-10 win over the Browns.
It couldn't have started off any better for Wentz and the Eagles, but as the game wore on, the momentum started to shift the Browns way. But in the end, the Eagles managed to weather the storm and stay the course on their way to victory.
Here are the grades for the Eagles for this week.
Pass Offense – B+
What more can you say about Carson Wentz? The rookie showed confidence, poise, skill and took every challenge head on. He showed his composure, his smarts. And when it came down to it, he made the passes when it counted. And a line that includes 278 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions is excellent for a first impression.
His two touchdowns on the day were perfect. They couldn't have been better. This is the potential. And while Wentz had some minor hiccups — there were a few passes knocked down at the line — and he didn't always get help with receiver drops, he did a good job of spreading the ball around to several receivers. Jordan Matthews had the biggest day, though he did have a few drops as well, but the early chemistry between Matthews and Wentz could be a sign of things to come.
Zach Ertz turned in a solid day with six catches for 58 yards. Nelson Agholor had four catches for 57 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch. After a disappointing rookie season and showing no signs of improvement in the preseason, you hope that this is what restores some confidence in Agholor.
Run Offense – B
The Eagles didn't run the ball as much as anticipated, 34 rushing attempts to 37 passes from Wentz, Ryan Mathews helped move the line well. Overall, the Eagles got 133 rushing yards, including 119 from Mathews and Kenjon Barner combined. Mathews helped secure the win with one final touchdown with under two minutes to play.
It wasn't the unit in command and the Eagles should look to utilize the running game more in the coming weeks, but again, the potential of a healthy Ryan Mathews was on display and that's a good thing for the Eagles.
Pass Defense – B-
For several drives in the middle of the game, the pass rush was non-existent. And with no pass rush, it often exposed the Eagles shaky at best secondary and poor tackling that allowed the Browns to make advancement look easy.
If there was one player that stood out in the secondary, it was Rodney McLeod, who not only had the game's only takeaway with an interception, but was active on the attack and quick to bring down the ball carrier on several plays. He had four tackles.
Aside from McLeod, it was really a forgettable day for the rest of the secondary, especially Ron Brooks and Leodis McKelvin, who left the game with injury.
When the Eagles did get the pressure on Robert Griffin III, it halted the Browns offense in its tracks. Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham and Connor Barwin all had sacks.
Until the Browns struck for a touchdown in the second quarter, the Eagles defense had not budged an inch in the early going. In fact, they had allowed just eight yards of total offense to that point before a 75-yard touchdown drive. One the next two drives for Cleveland, which ended with an interception and the end of the first half, the Browns gained 85 more yards. In the second half, the Browns were limited to 95 yards of total offense, 40 of which came in the final 1:12 of the game.
Run Defense – B+
When you consider that the Browns got 40 rushing yards in the final 1:12 of the game, the 120 yards allowed for the game looks pretty good.
Again, the Eagles limited the Browns running game, and many of the yards came on QB scrambles by RG3 as opposing to designed run plays. At around the same time the passing defense let up a bit in this game — the second quarter — so did the run defense, which led to the only touchdown of the game for the Browns.
Special Teams – B+
It wasn't a good start for Caleb Sturgis, who missed his first field-goal attempt before connecting on the next two.
It was a very strong day for the punt team. Donnie Jones punted six times and three times the Eagles were able to pin the Browns inside the 20. On one of those, the next play by the Browns was a botched snap out of the endzone for a safety that spun the momentum back in their favor.
Darren Sproles nearly opened the season with yet another punt return, advancing 40 yards on one of his four returns on the day.
