Carson Wentz was the most aggressive quarterback in the NFL in 2017

Back in 2016, during Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz's rookie season, one of the more asinine criticisms of Wentz's play was that he was unwilling to take shots down the field. "Air yards" (or the average distance the ball traveled in the air on its way to the intended receiver) became a well-known term among the Eagles' most hardcore followers, and something of an inside joke against Wentz's harshest critics.

All those other season-ending injuries aside, Eagles nearly fully healthy

It would be a little ridiculous to call the Philadelphia Eagles a "healthy" team, given the season-ending losses of Carson Wentz, Jason Peters, Jordan Hicks, Darren Sproles, and well, you know the list by now. However, it seems that Doug Pederson's plan to rest his starters the final week of the regular season did at least result in (almost) the rest of the roster healing up and being ready to go for their first playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons.
