Philadelphia Eagles: 5 players that are key to a Week 13 victory over the Redskins
The Entire Offensive Line
Okay, so we have a little over five players that are key to a victory on Monday night, but this one is critical. The entire offensive line needs to be on the same page this week. They just haven’t been good this season, and the struggles are killing the momentum of the offense at times. Wentz hasn’t been able to stretch plays this year as he has in the past, and it doesn’t seem like he will be doing that anytime soon.
The run blocking was superb last week, but the pass protection needs to be fixed ASAP. Hopefully, the offensive line runs off of the strong victory from last week and realizes that stopping the pass rush can buy Wentz some time to make the big throws that he hasn’t really had the chance to make all season long.
It doesn’t need to be a flawless performance, but some consistency will really go a long way on Monday. If the Eagles can finally put an end to their flaws with the passing attack, then they should be in good shape to secure a victory over the Redskins and keep their playoff hopes alive for another week.
