A banged-up Philadelphia Eagles travel to San Francisco looking for their first win of the season, while the 49ers hope to improve their record to 3-1.
season and last Sunday's 23-23 tie with the Bengals was arguably a new low as Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson elected to punt on fourth-and-12 from the Bengals' 46-yard line with 19 seconds left in overtime after a false start had deprived his team of the chance of winning the game with a 59-yard field goal.
The Eagles quarterback averages career lows in several metrics, including yards gained per attempt, yards gained per completion and completion percentage. Wentz has the league's joint-most interceptions after three games, ranks 29th in completion percentage and is last in QB rating. "That's a knee-jerk reaction, the Super Bowl LII-winning coach told 94.1 WIP on earlier this week."Carson's our quarterback. We're going to get it fixed. He is going to get it fixed."
Like Garoppolo, running back Raheem Mostert, linebacker Dre Greenlaw and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley remain sidelined, while star defensive endswith ACL injuries sustained two weeks ago in the win against the New York Jets. The good news for the 49ers is that George Kittle, another of the casualties from Week 2, will be back on Sunday night after recovering from a knee injury.
