Eagles vs. Seahawks score highlights Wil

[lovelystyle 0]

is the NFL MVP. Before Sunday night, he was certainly in the conversation but wasn't considered , mostly because the were 7-5 and on the wrong side of the playoff bubble. Wilson was also competing against and Sunday night's opponent, , who Yuli Gurriel Jersey have led their respective teams to 10-2 records.But the expectation ahead of the Week 13 matchup was that the , as they have done all season, would bring their high-powered offense into Seattle and roll a decimated Seahawks defense that currently features just one healthy member of the Legion of Boom. Seriously, the Eagles came into the game averaging 31.9 points a game in 2017 and 37.2 points a game since Week 7. But it took the 's highest-scoring team 22 minutes and nine seconds to get on the board and that came via a field goal. When it was over, Philly managed just seven more points and left CenturyLink Field on the wrong side of a 24-10 final score.Which brings us to two things. This prescient nugget ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted early Sunday morning: As 10-win Eagles head to Seattle, it should be noted: Ru sell Wilson-led Seahawks have not lost a regular-season game to a team with 10 or more wins, going 3-0 and winning each game by at least 29 points. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Here's six takeaways from the ma sive Seahawks win.To reiterate: Ru sell Wilson is the SeahawksIn years past, this would be hyperbole. But it is not the case in 2017. The Seahawks have 12 players on injured reserve -- including defenders , , and -- and they were without against the Eagles. There's also the matter of a replacement-level Gerrit Cole Jersey offensive line and a non-existent running game ... outside of Ru sell Wilson. When it was over, Wilson was 20 of 31 for 227 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers. He was sacked twice but avoided approximately a dozen other takedowns behind the line of scrimmage because he's not human. He also rushed six times for 31 yards, which was just below his 36.5 yard-per-game average.How good has Wilson been? Through the first 11 games, he accounted for 82 percent of the Seahawks' offense: . is going Double Platinum. TNF on NBC (@SNFonNBC) When it was all said and done, he was good for 78 percent of the offense against the Eagles. There is no other quarterback on the planet that is as valuable to his team as Wilson is to the Seahawks. That said, the defense deserves a lot of credit for shutting down that Eagles' offense. Which brings us to this ...The game's turning point came early in the third quarterThe Seahawks limited the Eagles to three first-half points -- in fact, it was only the fourth time all season Seattle led at the break -- Andy Pettitte Jersey in part because Philly's offense was uncharacteristically conservative. Wentz was 9 of 13 for 45 yards over the first 30 minutes and was 0 for 3 on pa ses that traveled more than 11 yards downfield. That changed on the first drive of the third quarter; the Eagles got the ball first and promptly went 69 yards, down to the Seahawks' 6-yard line. And then Wentz did something he had done only twice all season: He fumbled. Carson Wentz loses the football out of the back of the end zone.Touchback.Seahawks ball. Going the other way. NFL (@NFL) And this time, it was a crucial, game-changing mistake. Because instead of making the score 10-10, Wentz's fumble went out the back of the end zone for a touchback. And 11 plays after that, Wilson to sed a 1-yard touchdown pa s to that effectively put the game out of reach. Three plays before the touchdown, however, the Seahawks were facing a third-and-10 from midfield. For reasons that remain a mystery, the Eagles rushed eight -- which always seems like a terrible idea when Wilson is the quarterback -- and this is what happened: . to SO close. NFL (@NFL) ESPN analyst and former NFL safety Matt Bowen explained what the rest of us saw with our eyes. Blitz has to get home if you are going to leave a safety on Baldwin. Playing off-man with inside leverage. Route beats the coverage. Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) Still, Wentz had his moments -- both good and badFirst, the good: This is one of the greatest plays of the season. No, it had no lasting consequence beyond a first down and a subsequent meaningle s touchdown, but ?! HOW DID MAKE THIS THROW?! NFL (@NFL) That was on third down, and a few plays later, so was this: The ! making magic happen in Seattle. 27-yard TD to ! NFL (@NFL) Now the bad: In addition to the goal-line fumble, Wentz also twice misfired in the direction of . The first time, the pa s was overthrown and fell incomplete. The second time, the pa s was underthrown and Agholor had to go to the ground to make the catch, a 32-yard gain. . to for a gain of 32! NFL (@NFL) In both instances, there's a decent chance Agholor walks into the end zone for a touchdown.Why didn't Jose Altuve Jersey the Eagles challenge this?With the Seahawks leading 17-10 in the fourth quarter and facing a third-and-9, Ru sell Wilson did a Ru sell Wilson thing. This time, it included a lateral to that went for a first down: Whoa. NFL (@NFL) But did the ball go forward? We'll never know where the officials came down on the call, because the Eagles didn't challenge it. It looked like Wilson's pitch might have been moving forward, but was that an optical illusion or not? Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. Here is a simple physics le son based around the principles of "Wilson's forward lateral" Carter McClure (@RalphFrazier765) Again, we have no idea how the NFL would have ruled because Pederson didn't think it was worth throwing a challenge flag. But had the call been overturned, the Seahawks would've faced a third-and-15 from their own 42.Playoff pictureThe lo s drops the Eagles out of the top spot in the NFC -- they've been replaced by the and (!!). Both teams are 10-2 but Minnesota holds the edge thanks to a strength of victory tiebreaker. The lo s also means Philly fails to clinch the NFC East for now.
