The 0-1 Eagles face the 1-0 Rams in week two of the regular season. The Rams dominated the first quarter, but the Eagles have made a push late in the second quarter to cut the Rams lead to 21-16 at the half. Here’s what we saw in the first 30 minutes of action:

QB Carson Wentz

The Eagles offense has been very lack luster so far. Wentz has made some nice throws and is a bright spot on the Eagles offense. Wentz heads into the half with 116 passing yards and seven rushing yards with one rushing touchdown.

LB T.J. Edwards

T.J. Edwards came up with a huge play, stripping the ball from Cooper Kupp on a punt return. This turnover set up a much needed Eagles touchdown. T.J. enters the half with five total tackles, including one for a loss.

The Entire Eagles Secondary

The Eagles secondary has been horrible so far. They have allowed Jared Geoff to complete 13 of his 14 pass attempts for 158 yards. If they Eagles want a shot at winning this games, the Eagles secondary is going to need to have a great second half.

RB Malcolm Brown

Brown has had a great first half, rushing for 31 yards on six just attempts. The Rams will try to control the pace of the game by running the ball in the second half. The Eagles will need to contain Brown in the second half to mount this comeback.
