The Philadelphia Eagles have not met the expectations they and their fan base had going into the 2020 season. They finished the first half with a 3-4-1 record. However, that is good enough to sit alone in first place in the NFC East.
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 23-9. Carson Wentz threw two horrendous interceptions and added two fumbles as well. Doug Pederson called a terrible game, but somehow they managed to come out on top. Brandon Graham and TJ Edwards changed the game defensively.
The Philadelphia Eagles lose 39-29 to the Steelers. The offense played very well and scored 29 points, enough to win you a game. Travis Fulgham had 152 yards on 10 receptions and a touchdown as Carson Wentz was hitting him all game long. Miles Sanders took a 74-yard run to the house, but the run game struggled besides that specific play. Defensively, Jim Schwartz had a tough night. Big Ben was getting the ball out quickly and there was no adjusting considering the front 4 is Jim's bread and butter.
