4 reasons Eagles can upset Seahawks during Wild Card Weekend
By Dan Parzych
4. Wentz continues to be productive on offense
First off, Wentz deserves plenty of credit for becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards in a season without a single one of his wide receivers recording 500 yards, showing exactly what the Eagles quarterback has been working with in 2019.

While Wentz hasn’t always been perfect at times since his fumbles always seem to be an issue, there were times in which the former first-round pick received plenty of unfair criticism for the struggles on Philadelphia’s offense.
From adjusting on offense without Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson to recently losing Zach Ertz, the Eagles have been a team that just hasn’t been able to catch a break in the injury department.
Even during Sunday’s win over the Giants, the offense lost their top running back in Miles Sanders to make things seem even more difficult for Wentz running the offense, yet he still found a way.
It has been one thing over the last weeks to watch Wentz lead Philadelphia to victories over each team within the division, but Seattle will be a whole new challenge.
Hopefully, Wentz can use the results of the last four games to continue playing well enough against the Seahawks to put the Eagles in better position to advance to the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
