It its no secret that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has struggled to find his footing to start the 2020 NFL season. Despite another slow start versus the San Francisco 49ers, Wentz has helped the Eagles' offense strike first.
Philadelphia capped an eight-play, 78 yard drive with a touchdown run from Wentz that was followed up by a successful two-point conversion, via NFL Twitter:

Things got off to a sluggish start once again for the Eagles offense as their opening drive resulted in a three-and-out while the second drive saw Wentz throw another interception to maintain his hold atop the league leaders. Head coach Doug Pederson will need to do what he can to ensure that they continue to build on it rather than take steps back.
Philadelphia's offense certainly has a favorable matchup going against an injury-riddled defensive front for San Francisco. The onus will fall on Wentz to keep the mistakes to a minimum and limit the turnovers.
