Game Preview: Both the Eagles and Bills are hoping to improve from a less than stellar 2016 season. Carson Wentz enters his second NFL season as the Eagles signal caller. After a hot start, Wentz struggled down the stretch, but showed enough promise for Eagles fans to be optimistic about their quarterback of the future.
These two teams engaged in a trade last week as receiver Jordan Matthews went to the Bills for cornerback Ronald Darby. Matthews suffered a chip fracture shortly after joining the Bills.
One player to watch in tonight’s game is Bills rookie receiver Zay Jones. Jones played at ECU and shined during the pre-draft process. Jones was one of the standout wide receivers during Senior Bowl week.
Eagles rookie defensive end Derek Barnett has had a good start to camp by all accounts. Barnett was one of the best players in college football at getting to the quarterback. Barnett is another player to watch tonight depending on how long the Eagles play him.
