1. Should Eagles be concerned about Wentz hanging on to the football?

First off, Carson Wentz deserves a ton of credit for helping Philadelphia’s offense win two games in a row to keep their playoff hopes alive since seeing the lack of weapons the quarterback has to work with in the passing game is insane to think about.

For whatever reason, some Eagles fans continue to put a majority of the blame on Wentz for the struggles on offense, but these fans should realize all of the injuries that continue to pile up are out of his hands.

While it may sound like a bit of a stretch, there are some football fans already making the claim that Sunday’s game against the Cowboys will be the biggest contest of Wentz’s career since this is the perfect opportunity to show the Eagles made the right choice in sticking with him.

Crazy statement or not, the one thing that Wentz needs to make sure he improves on during Sunday’s contest is hanging on to the football since this seems to be the one area of weakness he just can’t seem to shake off.

Wentz got lucky last weekend against the Redskins only losing one of three fumbles, but if this happens against the Cowboys, their defense will most likely make them pay for it.
