It was a game they really could have won. All came down to the final play and all eyes were on rookie quarterback carson wentz. Sean bell is here with us in the studio to recap the dramatic ending. Sean. Yesterday was a totally Different Team than what weve seen in the first three games. Normally, on point, aggressive and disciplined. But they were none of that. Especially in the first half. They had 14 penalties some a little bit questionable but for the most part they earned them all and maybe the biggest issues was the turnovers. Right in the clutch after not turning the ball over in the first three games they coughed it in the biggest moments of the game like this one right here. Ryan matthews fumbles, basically giving the lions the lead and then carson wentz deep ball at the end of the play right here, carson probably shouldnt have thrown this ball and Nelson Agholor he had a chance to knock it down and he didnt. A tough first loss for the eagles but something the team can learn from especially carson wentz. Its a teachable moment for him, um, next time in that situation, hell definitely understand whats going on, i think, and not make those decisions. One thing about carson is its short term mentality. It happens once he forget it and moves on. This is his fourth start. Were beating him up over his fourth nfl start and he did some great things in this football game. That one play will magnify him. Now its all about rebounding. Theres a loft mistake the guys need to clean up. The players talk about gettering back ton track and come cutting down all the penalties later in sports.
