What are 1 or 2 things that need to happen for Philly to win on the road and on a short week?

Dan: Carson Wentz needs to have his best game of 2019, plain and simple. The Eagles quarterback was already facing heavy pressure over proving that he was the right answer under center, and while the injuries on offense have made things more difficult, Wentz is the leader that needs to step up.

Also, Philadelphia needs to find out a way to start off hot in the first quarter since this has been an issue already this year, and it puts the team at a major disadvantage playing catch up.

Takeaways: It has been a bit of a slow start to the season for Carson Wentz. With Philadelphia’s injuries at receiver and along the offensive line, if the Green Bay Packers are able to slow down their rushing attack, it is going to force the Eagles and Wentz to have to throw the ball more. And with the Packers revamped defensive front, this has played into their advantage the first few weeks of the season when they’ve been able to get to the quarterback and force turnovers. They’ll need to do the same this Thursday Night against Carson Wentz.
