In a game that doesn’t involve much offense, T. Higgins and Greg Ward Ward provided the only touchdown in the first half of this interactive conference between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals. Carson Ventez has continued to fight throwing football, but has the most rushing yards (45) since tearing his ACL back in the 2017 season. The Eagles have a productive game of Miles Sanders, but are limited to just eight carry in the first half. Philadelphia had just two touchdowns in its last 25 quarters, with Wentz running a touchdown strike to give Greg Ward a 13-10 lead at halftime. Wentz is the Eagles’ fastest quarterback to reach 100 touchdown passes, doing so in 59 games.
Cincinnati’s offense is limited by the Eagles defense (starting with Josh Sweat defensive end and Creovan LeBlanc replacing Nickel Robbie-Coleman on the slot cornbuck), but the Bengals have done enough to score the game’s touchdown alone. Cincinnati gave Cincinnati its first lead of the game before the Eagles responded to T Higgins from a touchdown pass at the end of the second quarter to move to halftime.
The Eagles need a win to keep pace in the NFC East Race because the Bengals are giving them everything they can handle. Philadelphia have not started the season 0-3 since 1999, when head coach Doug Pederson was a quarterback. For a quick analysis of this game, please keep our live blog below.
