There’s 5 pressing questions regarding the Philadelphia Eagles Week 5 matchup.
The Philadelphia Eagles snatched their first win of the season this past Sunday, and at least for one full week, fans of the team get to enjoy being in sole possession of first place in the NFC East. An 1-2-1 record definitely isn’t something to be overly jubilant about, but hey, first place is first place.
With the win over San Francisco now firmly behind them, the Eagles shift their attention to an intense battle for the state of Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Steelers are undefeated through the first four weeks of the season, and they’re coming off an impromptu bye week.
With the Steelers off to a hot start and the Eagles looking to build some momentum, here are the top five biggest questions leading into the battle for PA:

Is Carson Wentz 100% back?
Despite the less-than-pretty stat line, Carson Wentz had himself a really good game against the Niners. He ran for a touchdown, threw for a touchdown, led a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, and was giving defenders problems with his legs all evening long.
It was the best #11 has looked all season, and probably the closest we’ve seen him look in terms of mobility to his 2017 days.

We all know Wentz is a really good QB, he showed it to us down the stretch last season. It was simply only a matter of time before he got back into a rhythm, and hopefully, his solid performance against San Fran was the game to spark him back towards excellence.
