3. Two skill players get their first touchdowns of the season.

Last week, the extent of the Jalen Reagor fireworks were seen on four plays. There was the fumbled punt that gave Eagles fans all over the Delaware Valley and everywhere else in the country a panic attack. There was his second attempt at fielding a punt. Those same fans held their breath, but things worked out a little better on the second go-around. Reagor caught the ball.

There was the 55-yard bomb from Carson Wentz when Philly needed conversion of more than twenty yards on an early third down. He caught that one over former Eagles cornerback and current Washington cover guy Ronald Darby by the way. There was another bomb from Wentz, this one was incomplete, but everyone saw the wheels on that one.

Later, we learned from Reagor that he slowed down on that play. Perhaps he didn’t think Wentz would target him or he thought ’11’ couldn’t get the ball out that far?

Either way, the ITI staff told you all last week in our bold predictions that Reagor’s first touchdown would have to wait a week. Yes, our staff also predicts that he’ll reach the end zone in Week 2. Miles Sanders is expected to play as well. Expect him to reach the end zone as a rusher. Hopefully, that will calm Carson Wentz down a tad.
