Week 9: Denver Broncos, Sunday 1:00 PM ET
Last time they met: 2014 Week 3, Broncos 52, Eagles 20
A potential battle of two quarterbacks from the 2016 draft class between Carson Wentz and Paxton Lynch will make for a close, entertaining battle.
The Broncos missed the playoffs after their 2015 Super Bowl victory without Peyton Manning under center. This will be a game the Eagles’ defense needs to win with one of the league’s best defenses in Von Miller and the Denver Broncos.
Unfortunately, Lynch gets the best of Wentz in this one.
Result: Eagles Loss (5-4)
