The game is in Charlotte, which was declared to be in “state of emergency” Wednesday by Gov. Eagles fans know that they have something special and feel they dare not say so this early, lest they ruin the magic.

Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is off to a tremendous start. This game looks like a trap.
Containing Brown is usually the key to beating the Steelers. If the Steelers want to reach that mark for only the fourth time in 24 years they will have to do so against an Eagles team they have not beaten in Philadelphia since 1965.
Coming off their sloppy loss at Minnesota, the Packers get their first home game – against a Lions team that was even sloppier in blowing a lead to Tennessee.
Even without star running back Le’Veon Bell and emerging receiver Martavis Bryant – Bell finishes his three-game league suspension this weekend, while Bryant is suspended for the entire season – Pittsburgh’s offense has hummed. Now they take on a rookie, who, according to Scott, has yet to see a defense similar to Pittsburgh’s. Over the past two games they’ve given up 695 passing yards, but just one touchdown. “They want to get out to a lead and then force the other team to make mistakes when they’re trying to keep up”.
Wentz earns the respect of teammates with some throws he has made under duress, like the fourth-down conversion in the season opener when he released the ball just before he was pummeled by a blitzer, and a dart to Brent Celek on Monday while almost in the arms of a Chicago Bears defender.
The No. 2 overall pick from North Dakota State, Wentz remained sublime, mature beyond his years and statistically pristine while helping to hand Pittsburgh its most lopsided loss since 1997.
The Philadelphia Eagles defense has been a pretty consistent fantasy option thus far.

Boswell came on to salvage the drive with a 36-yard field goal attempt but Philadelphia’s Bennie Logan blocked it. This could be a major statement game for either side depending on the outcome. We’re going to come out and do what we do. I think he sees a ton of targets and finishes with right around 10 catches. They’re getting terrific production from WR Kelvin Benjamin, who missed all of 2015 with a knee injury after a strong rookie season.
The Eagles didn’t commit a turnover and forced two. It was the Patriots’ first shutout win since 2012, and the first time the Texans (2-1) have been shutout since 2003.
How will Pittsburgh’s defense attack Carson Wentz? Wentz completed 7 of 9 passes on that drive, one of them being a drop. Roethlisberger is still the best quarterback in Pennsylvania – by far – but one day Wentz may take the mantle. The Steelers did not sack him and the rookie has yet to throw an interception this season.

These all might make for decent jokes, but the joke’s on all of us after the Rams improved to 2-1 following a cross-country victory over the Bucs in which the offense actually produced 30 points – after not finding the end zone in Weeks 1-2 – and the defense continued to play well.
