PHILADELPHIA -- It didnt take long for Carson Wentz to get his first taste of success.The rookie quarterback out of North Dakota State went 4-for-5 for 57 yards and 1 touchdown on his first NFL drive, helping the Philadelphia Eagles jump to a 7-0 lead Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, en route to a 29-10 win. The lone incompletion was a drop from wide receiver Jordan Matthews.Matthews made up for it, though, hauling in a perfectly-placed ball in the left corner of the end zone for a 19-yard TD.It was just man coverage, man coverage across the board, Wentz said. And I knew Jordan, all week we had been repping that, and I knew hed get a good release and beat his guy, and thats what he did. I just threw it out there, gave him a chance and he made a heck of a play.Tight end Zach Ertz kick-started the drive with a one-handed grab along the right sideline for a 14-yard completion -- the first of Wentzs career.Wentz went on to complete 22-of-37 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns, including a 35-yard touchdown toss to receiver Nelson Agholor in the third quarter that helped secure the win over Cleveland.When coach called it, I was pretty excited, said Wentz of the shot to Agholor. And Nelson, right off the ball, he killed his guy [cornerback Joe Haden] and had a great release. I put it out there for him and he was running and it was great. Great play.Wentz is the first Eagles rookie quarterback to start a season opener since Davey OBrien in 1939.

Cheap Timberwolves Jerseys . The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. After dealing with the three of the Wests elite teams, the Indiana Pacers finally get a look at the other end of the rival conferences spectrum when a five-game Western swing continues with a visit to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.The Pacers are coming off a humiliating, 142-106 drubbing at the hands of the Golden State Warriors on Monday night in Oakland, Calif. Klay Thompson scorched the visitors for 60 points in the win.The sound defeat was the second in three games for the Pacers on their Western excursion. They were waxed 131-109 at Portland last Wednesday before rebounding to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 111-102 on Sunday.Indiana (10-11) will be motivated not only by the drubbing against the Warriors but also a 116-96 defeat handed them by the Suns when the clubs met Nov. 18 in Indianapolis.The Suns bench dominated that game, with reserves Brandon Knight (17), Jared Dudley (16), Alan Williams (15), Leandro Barbosa (13) and Tyler Ulis (10) all scoring in double figures.Phoenixs backups outscored their Indiana counterparts 78-35 that night, taking advantage of a Pacers club that elected to promote its most productive reserve, C.J. Miles, to the starting lineup to replace injured Paul George.We went through the motions, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said after the game. It was bad out there.Indiana responded from that loss with one of its most impressive wins of the season, a 115-111 overtime victory at Oklahoma City.The Pacers are 7-3 following a defeat this season.The schedule could help the visitors improve upon that stat Wednesday night. While the Pacers were resting in their hotel Tuesday, the Suns were dueling the Jazz in Utah, and losing 112-105..dddddddddddd.Coincidentally, the Suns (6-15) also were coming off a shellacking against the Warriors, 138-109. They responded with a competitive effort Tuesday, rallying from a 20-point halftime deficit into a 103-all tie late in the game before getting outfinished 9-2 by the Jazz.Afterward, Phoenix coach Earl Watson once again applauded the effort of his reserve crew.That (second) unit came in and played selfless, Watson said of a bench that once again included Knight (15 points) and Barbosa (13), along with backup center Alex Len (14). They gave up all their energy on defense, and offensively they moved the ball, created the tempo and played amazing perimeter defense.Because of the balanced attack, no Sun played more than 28 minutes on the first night of the back-to-back.Phoenix is 1/3 in the second game of consecutive-night scheduling this season, the most recent being a 120-105 loss at Philadelphia on the night after they won at Indiana.The game matches one of the leagues best shooting teams (Indiana, 45.5 percent from the field) against one of the leagues worst defensive clubs (Phoenix, 46.4 percent allowed).The Suns went up against a similarly efficient Utah squad on Tuesday night and watched as the Jazz converted 49.3 percent of their shots and 44.4 percent of their 3-pointers.The day off no doubt benefitted the Pacers, who have seen three key players -- George, Miles and Myles Turner -- return from injuries during this trip.They were all on deck for the Sunday win over the Clippers, contributing 40 points to the victory.
