As the Eagles look to take a much-needed break during the Bye week, the importance of offensive success upon their return has sky-rocketed. After news of DeSean Jackson’s injury broke, the wide receiver position has been put under the microscope, but how much is really going to change?
The team is 5-4 and only one game behind the Dallas Cowboys, but for the second year in a row, the Eagles wide receivers have failed Carson Wentz and the offense.
Drops are becoming a regular thing again, with the Eagles leading the league in that category. Even their top wideout, Alshon Jeffery, had three drops in Sunday’s win over Chicago.
