PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz is playing like a rookie and Doug Pederson is making decisions like a first-year coach.The combination of inexperience and inconsistency cost the Philadelphia Eagles another game, and theyre reeling at the midpoint of the season. Theyve lost four of the last five games, including a 28-23 loss to the Giants on Sunday.That 3-0 start is a distant memory now.Were obviously building something here, but, when you look at these games, that weve been in at the end, the encouraging thing is that we really should have won those games, Pederson said Monday. As we build this thing, were going to win these games down the stretch as we go.Wentz threw a pair of interceptions on Philadelphias first two drives against New York, putting the Eagles in a 14-0 hole. They also trailed 14-0 in the first quarter in losses to Detroit and Washington.But Wentz rebounded nicely against the Giants the same way he did in the other losses only to fall short at the end.The offense had the ball with an opportunity to drive for the winning score in each of the four losses, but Wentz couldnt get it done.He threw four straight incomplete passes from the Giants 17 in the final minute. Jordan Matthews was open in the end zone on fourth-and-10, but Wentzs pass sailed over his outside shoulder.It was a good ball, Matthews said afterward. Carson put it outside, good placement. Ive just got to locate it, find it and bring it in.Wentz also took the blame.Youve got to be precise down there, he said.Their inability to finish games should be a learning experience. They also have to play better at the start.That same sense of urgency that you have to have at the end of the game, we have to come out with that, Matthews said.We have to come out with that same drive, that same attention to detail and that gotta-have-it mentality, weve got to go make a play right now. It comes, and lots of times it comes when were down or late in games, and then its too late.Pedersons playcalling has been questionable lately. He was conservative in an overtime loss at Dallas last week and too aggressive against New York. Pederson is calling plays for the first time in his career after serving as offensive coordinator under Andy Reid in Kansas City.He passed up field goals twice to go for fourth-and-2 at the Giants 23 and fourth-and-1 at the Giants 6 in the first half. The offense failed to convert both times, and the six points were the difference in the outcome.I still feel strong about those, Pederson said. I think the decision is to go for it. It shows confidence and belief in the guys. We were moving the ball.To me, it didnt come down to those two plays. There were enough things that cost us this football game, but I still stick by what I did -- how I chose to go for it in both of those situations.Overall, the Eagles had a first down at the Giants 22 or better on six different possessions and ended up with three field goals on those drives.The Eagles host the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons (6-3) this week.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Navy freshman quarterback Malcolm Perry was wearing his dress whites and enjoying the Midshipmens game against Fordham with his classmates in the stands Saturday.Perry had been sick most of the week, but he was able to play in the junior varsity game the prior day. The coaches, however, were confident with starting quarterback Tago Smith and backup Will Worth in the lineup. As a result, they held Perry out, allowing him to march to the stadium with the traditional Brigade of the Midshipmen.Everything changed when Smith went down with a knee injury in the second quarter.The coaches decided to pull Perry from the stands, got him suited up and he was ready to play against the Rams. Perry made his debut with 38 seconds left in the third quarter and later put together a 90-yard-drive in the fourth quarter that led to a 23-yard field goal in the 52-16 victory.It wasnt planned for me to even dress today, said Perry, who ran for 32 yards on seven carries but did not attempt a pass.. I came here with the rest of the brigade. I was just watching the game and Tago went down. The coaches got me out of the stands and got me dressed. It felt good. Playing the JV game the prior day helped a lot. It was a good experience.Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo was impressed with Perrys performance under the difficult circumstances.I thought he did really well for a guy that wasnt supposed to suit up, Niumatalolo said. He was in the brigade so went and got him. He had been sick all week too and didnt take any reps. So, we tried to keep things really simple for him. Hes another talented kid. Its not the scenario you want. But we had to do what we had to do.After serving for three years as a backup for record-setting quarterback Keenan Reynolds, Smith ran Navys triple-option offense flawlessly until he was injured on a 22-yard run with 14:17 left in the half. Smiths status was uncertain following the game and Niumatalolo was overcome with emotion when talking about the injury.Hes just a great kid, Niumatalolo said. He really symbolizes who we are, hasnt said (anything) for three years and came to work every day. He didnt complain, didnt get bitter. What he did in the first half, didnt surprise me. We knew the guy was a good football player. We just feel bad for a kid who has waited his turn.In just over one quarter of work, Smith rushed foor 97 yards on 10 carries with a pair of touchdowns.dddddddddddd Senior Will Worth entered and was also effective, scoring on a 7-yard run that gave the Midshipmen a 28-10 lead. He also threw a 57-yard touchdown pass to Toneo Gulley.Junior fullback Chris High had 176 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns, including a 70-yard scamper, in his first career start for Navy. It was the most rushing yards by a Navy fullback since 2010.I just knew with the help of my line, the play-calling and my supporting cast, that anything was possible High said.Kevin Anderson completed 26 of 45 passes for 302 yards with a touchdown for the Rams.Chase Edmonds, the 2015 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, finished with 70 yards on 18 carries for Fordham, ranked No. 20 in the NCAA FCS Coaches poll.To win this game and have success, we would have to execute at a high level, Fordham coach Andrew Breiner said. All three phases of the game -- offense, special teams and defense -- we did not execute at a high enough level. Well turn on the tape and we are going to see some close calls. Were going to see some chances for big plays on the offensive side of the ball that we just didnt make. If we do that, I think its a different football game.THE TAKEAWAYFORDHAM: The Rams fell short of earning their third win in four years over an NCAA FBS opponent. Still, Fordham showed some burst on offense with Edmonds in the backfield and Anderson behind center. This type of game should help battle-test them for conference play and a potential run in the FCS playoffs.NAVY: The Midshipmens triple-option attack did not miss a beat with Smith under center, but his status is uncertain after suffering the knee injury. Worth was a solid replacement, but Perry and sophomore Zach Abey could also get more opportunities.HOME FIELD ADVANTAGENavy has not lost at home since Sept. 27, 2014, against Western Kentucky. The victory over Fordham gave the Midshipmen their longest winning streak at home (11) since 1953-64 when Navy won 21-straight.UP NEXTFORDHAM: The Rams open at home next Saturday against Elizabeth City State in a non-conference matchup.NAVY: The Midshipmen host Connecticut in their American Athletic Conference opener next Saturday.
