The Philadelphia Eagles opened the 2020 NFL season on the road Sunday and for one quarter and a half, they looked like Super Bowl contenders. The Birds imploded on the road, giving up 27 unanswered points to Washington in a heartbreaking opening season loss.
With the Eagles playing without 7 starters on both sides of the ball, there were plenty of snaps to go around.
With the Eagles set to host the Rams next Sunday, here’s the snap count for the loss at Washington.

QB: Carson Wentz 68 offensive snaps
Wentz had a disastrous second half after starting the game 14-for-18 for 182 yards passing, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and lights out 145.8 QB rating.
Offensive Line:
Nate Herbig, Isaac Seumalo, Jason Peters, Jason Kelce 68 snaps, Jack Driscoll 50 snaps, Jordan Mailata 18 snaps, Matt Pryor 4 snaps
The Eagles makeshift offensive line struggled to hold up under the pressure caused by the Washington front. Jason Peters avoided injury and played every offensive snap. Jack Driscoll missed 18 snaps with an injury for a group that was playing without Lane Johnson at right tackle and it showed.
Running backs:
Boston Scott 38 snaps, Corey Clement 25 snaps, Jason Huntley 1 snap
The Eagles running game was nonexistent without Miles Sanders and although Boston Scott was the starter, the production from the position never materialized on Sunday. The Eagles had 57 total yards rushing on 17 carries.
