5-9. Previous: . Philadelphia Eagles. 26. team. 54. A game-winning drive was orchestrated by Carson Wentz to bring the Eagles to within one in Baltimore, but Doug Pederson’s decision to go for two points with four seconds left cost the Eagles an opportunity to win in overtime. Pederson’s play-calling and decision making throughout the season has been questionable, leading for many to call for his job. Fans in Philadelphia are not waiting for a coach who was working with a high school team a couple of years ago learning on the job in the NFL. Defensively the Eagles and Jim Schwartz got back to what makes them so potent, sacking Joe Flacco three times and making tackles in the backfield. Once Wentz gets some reliable receivers, the Eagles offense should being playing on par with the defense. <p>Next Week: Philadelphia returns home for the final two games of the regular season. With the playoffs out of reach, the Eagles will look to play spoiler when the Giants drive down I-95. New York knocked off the Eagles midway through the season, so the Eagles will be looking for revenge on Thursday Night Football.</p> <p>Draft talk: Eagles general manager Howie Roseman did an excellent job last year moving from the 13th pick to number two for Carson Wentz. This year he’ll have the Minnesota Vikings pick to work with, and will focus on adjusting both the wide receiver and cornerback corp. Offensive line and linebacker depth will also be an area of focus this offseason for Roseman.</p>
