Unlike the Los Angeles Rams and second-year QB Jared Goff, the Eagles don’t even need huge strides from their second-year quarterback to make the playoffs in 2017, Pro Football Focus points out. Carson Wentz’ 78.3 overall grade last year wasn’t amazing (above), but it was certainly good enough to lead a team to the playoffs. And even though they went 7-9 last year, the Eagles could have just as easily made the playoffs. They went 1-6 in games decided by one score and had a better point differential than five of the 12 playoff teams. All they need is to flip that record in close games.
