Eagles-Lions Post-Game Notes (10.9.16)

• Carson Wentz threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns. With 1,007 passing yards this season, Wentz moved past Donovan McNabb and into fourth on the Eagles all-time rookie passing yardage list. With seven passing touchdowns, he is one shy of tying McNabb for the team rookie record in that category.

• Wentz’s 25 completions today ranked as a career high and the third-highest total ever by an Eagles rookie

• Wentz started his career by throwing 134 passes before his first interception. According to Elias, that ranks as the third-longest streak to start a career, behind Tom Brady’s 162, and Dak Prescott, who came into today’s game with a streak of 131 and has surpassed Wentz.

• Wentz’s passer rating has exceeded 100 in three of four games this season

• Ryan Mathews scored his first receiving touchdown of the season and the third of his career. He has reached the end zone in three of four games this season and has four total touchdowns.

• Caleb Sturgis connected on all three of his field goal attempts, including his 10th-career 50-plus yarder and his fourth with the Eagles. He also made a 49-yarder to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. It marked Sturgis’ 13th-career three-field-goal game.

• Josh Huff caught his first touchdown of the season, becoming the fifth different player to catch a TD pass for the Eagles this season
