Forget about that. The Eagles went out and pounded Denver, 51-23 and the offense gained 419 yards as quarterback Carson Wentz sat the entire fourth quarter.
That run defense? Shredded by the Eagles, who blistered Denver for a total of 197 rushing yards, including 89 in the first half. Buoyed by the addition of running back Jay Ajayi, acquired in a trade from Miami on Tuesday, the Eagles ran all over the Broncos, established the line of scrimmage and eliminated superstar pass rusher Von Miller.
Ajayi made an immediate impact, establishing himself in a key second-quarter drive that put the game, dominated by the Eagles, out of reach.
