As time ticked away in the fourth quarter, the Denver Broncos started working on running the clock down. They ran the ball as much as they could then would punt the ball down the field and count on the Broncos defense to keep Cam Newton from getting the Panther offense going. And it worked. Von Miller, who was so big for Denver’s defense in the first half, caused Newton to fumble and the Broncos recovered the ball on the four yard line.
To begin the game, the Eagles received the ball first and it was a perfect opening drive for Wentz and the offense. On the first drive, Wentz went 4-for-5, finding tight end Zach Ertz for a ridiculous one-handed 14-yard catch on first down and ending it with a 19-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordan Matthews.
It was the flea flicker. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles handed the ball off to Clement who took a couple of steps and then pitched it back to Foles who threw a 41-yard scoring strike to Smith.
Besides two long offensive plays, the defense shut down the offense, allowing only three touchdowns. One of those came from former Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith to Shelton Gibson.
Carson Wentz is the captain of the 2018 Super Bowl LII champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Eagles by clinching the NFC East title prior to tearing his ACL at the end of the Eagles conference season. It was only Wentz’s second year in the NFL and he had originally begun his career as a third string quarterback until this season. Wentz had brought the Eagles faith back again after leading the team to multiple victories in the 2017 season. Although Wentz was unable to play for his team in the Super Bowl due to his ACL injury, he still supported and rooted for his team every game. When Nick Foles had taken over for Wentz, Wentz did not give up hope or feel down about himself. He than helped Nick Foles by continuing to motivate him any

In last year’s NFL Draft, the Eagles used their first two picks to address the defensive side of the football. With their first round selection, they took defensive end Derek Barnett, who carved out his role and racked up five sacks.

Wentz absorbed a number of shots -- some of them unnecessary -- and found most of the ground gained to be hard-earned, at least until the Bears succumbed to the Eagles' momentum down the stretch. A perfect example came late in the second quarter. With the Eagles facing third-and-9, Wentz stood in with defensive end Akiem Hicks crashing in on him and fired a completion to tight end Trey Burton to keep the drive alive. Hicks was flagged for roughing the passer on the play for getting a hand on Wentz's helmet.
