The Eagles wanted to slow things down after the Chip Kelly years.

But it took a little no-huddle for them to build a solid lead.

Carson Wentz just hit Jordan Matthews for a touchdown which gave them a 20-10 lead over the Cowboys in the third quarter.

The Eagles went no-huddle, and Wentz was sharp, moving them efficiently after a plodding first half. Of course, some communication issues and ill-timed penalties on the Cowboys helped him along the way, but it was a strong job for the Eagles, who have now scored 17 unanswered points.
