NFL Note - * Free Agents Wentz, Camden

Nov 20, 2017 - 9:21 AM QB Carson Wentz threw a pair of touchdown passes as Philadelphia scored on its first three possessions of the second half and surged to a 37-9 victory on Sunday night at AT&T Stadium.

With their kicking game limited due to an injury to Jake Elliott, the Eagles went for two after each of their second-half touchdowns. Wentz made good on two of them with passes to Alshon Jeffery and tight end Trey Burton, and running back Corey Clement ran for another one.

"When I found out that Jake was being evaluated, at that point I went into go-for-it (mode) on fourth down in the field-goal-range situations," Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said. "The scoring drives were just sort of a no-brainer to go for it on two-point conversions."

It worked.

Wentz converted a fourth-and-5 from the Dallas 17 when he connected with Jeffery for a touchdown that put Philadelphia ahead 29-9 with 12:10 left in the fourth quarter.

Wentz's stellar second half helped him finish with 168 passing yards on 14-of-27 passing.
