The Eagles defeated the Colts on Sunday, but it wasn’t perfect. As with most games, there were things that the Eagles did well, and things that they will need to improve on heading into the next game.

Carson Wentz is back, and the Philadelphia Eagles are winning the Super Bowl! Just kidding, But seriously, it was very encouraging to see Wentz again on the field, and the offense saw an immediate boost with him under center.

The defense was able to hold the Indianapolis Colts to just 16 points and came up huge with a fourth-down sack toward the end of the game to force a turnover on downs. Now, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for the team.

Some things need to be improved if the Eagles want to have a legitimate shot at repeating as Super Bowl Champs. So, let’s take a look at the good and the bad of the Eagles against the Colts.
