Carson Wentz has thrown a career-high four touchdowns against the Cardinals in only three quarters. More impressively, he’s thrown those scoring passes to four different targets.
Nelson Agholor juked Budda Baker into oblivion for Carson Wentz’s 4th passing TD
The Eagles are absolutely lighting up the Cardinals.
The fourth, and arguably most impressive, came when Nelson Agholor shook rookie safety Budda Baker to his core with a spinning, juking dash that capped off a 72-yard reception in the end zone.
Agholor capped the play off with a reverse Lipton plunge into the end zone, adding an extra twist to an already disrespectful display. The touchdown gave Philadelphia a 31-7 lead with 21 minutes left in the game.
Even Terrell Owens had to take notice.
What this means for the Eagles: Philadelphia is cruising, and only a historic collapse will keep the team from improving to 4-1 and maintaining its spot atop the NFC East. The Eagles started 3-1 last season before crashing back down to earth; an emphatic win in Week 5 suggests they won’t have a similar problem in 2017.
What this means for Nelson Agholor: The young wideout was on the verge of being cut last offseason after two disappointing seasons in Philadelphia. His emergence this summer helped give the Eagles the latitude to trade Jordan Matthews to the Bills. Through five games, he’s already posting career highs in catch percentage, catches per game, and yards per game. He’s got four catches for 93 yards for the Eagles today.
