this is a team, ducis, that came in with no passion, no fight whatever. that has to go on the coaching staff for not having them ready. this is an all time low. > >> carson wentz, did we buy in too soon? >> he's regressing. he's nervous in the pocket. for a guy 6' 5, he gets a lot of passes deflected. he's sailing passes. he doesn't look like a competent player. they have to get a coach to get him back. i'm not sure doug pederson is the guy. jamie joins us now. >> how is this the same team? that team scored points.

this team didn't do so until the third quarter. eagles had their first lengthy drive of the game, but two consecutive false start penalties left a 51-yard penal penalty. the bengals respond with another field goal. a 93-yard touchdown drive hitting tyler with the touchdown, missed the tht. eagles trail 19-0 at the half. third quarter, bengals picked up where they left off. dalton leads them down the field for an eight yard touchdown in a 26-0 lead. the eagles answer with a turnover. carson wentz kicked off by dante. another field goal making it 29-0. cincinnati scores on the first
