PHILADELPHIA -- From the first drive of the game, it was evident that the Eagles are officially Carson Wentz's team.
The rookie quarterback thrust into the starting job this week after Sam Bradford was traded to the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 3, finished 22-for-37 passing for 278 yards and two touchdown passes in Sunday's 29-10 win over the Cleveland Browns at Lincoln Financial Field.
Wentz capped that opening drive with a 19-yard touchdown pass, an emphatic way to open his NFL career.
Here some initial thoughts and observations from the Eagles' season-opening victory:
- Nearly flawless start:
- Great throw:
- Rookie not backing down:
- Defense is stifling:
- Fletcher Cox gets his:
