They Bears are 0-2 after losing to the Eagles Monday 29-14.
“You know it was cool but at the same time it was something for me I just try to not make it bigger than it needs to be”, said Wentz.
Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott figures to have an easy time carving up the suspect Bears secondary, given that Chicago’s front seven is going to have a hard time putting pressure on him with backup players. In his two starts, Wentz has 468 yards passing, three touchdowns and no interceptions. The numbers don’t do his performance justice. But I thought he handled himself extremely well.

Trevathan’s injury is not expected to keep him out for the entire year.
On Monday night in Chicago, Wentz had another impressive showing, completing 21 of 34 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. The wins have been as much a credit to the game plan and defense as to Hoyer, who can manage a game well.
The numbers are impressive, but that’s not what has impressed Pederson the most. In the win over the Bears, Kelce was called for a holding penalty that negated what was about a 20-yard pass play to Brent Celek.

You don’t shy away from any throw”. “And use that to his favor”.
After 71 National Football League passes, Wentz has yet to commit a turnover.
Cutler said he had surgery on it when he was 11 or 12.
“We have all the confidence in the world that he can get the job done and he’s our leader and he takes charge of this team and he’s grabbed the team by the reigns and running with it so we’re just following him”, said Lane Johnson, Eagles offensive lineman.
“We’re playing stout, pretty strong and aggressive”.

Big Ben, by the way, was 13-0 his rookie season in 2004 and led the Steelers to the AFC championship game. “You see him throwing balls away, not trying to make too many insane throws down the field and using his legs when needed”.
