Balling: Jordan Matthews

If you’re an Eagles fan that missed most or all of the pre-season, you may not have known what to expect. Minus a bad drop on the first drive, Matthews made some really tough catches and had a big game. He recorded seven receptions for 114 yards and had a fantastic touchdown in the corner of the end-zone during the first quarter. When asked about Wentz in a post-game interview, Matthews said “he was great” and “showed a veteran mindset”.

With the chemistry that’s being built between Matthews and his new quarterback, there could be a new “bromance” brewing.
