The Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Carolina Panthers this week during "Monday Night Football", and they were able make it a 45-21 blowout for another crucial victory in their bid to win the NFC East. Here are my five biggest takeaways after Mark Sanchez's first start as an Eagle.

Philadelphia jumped out to a 10-0 lead in this one before Carolina responded, and Cam Newton must have been frustrated when the Panthers' second play from scrimmage was a fumble. Ultimately, the Eagles ran away with this game before the first half was over.

Sanchez looked tentative in the first half, but they only needed him to be a game manager at that point. He eventually started airing it out more and threw for 332 passing yards and two TDs.

His 57 percent completion rate coming into this game was never going to be good enough for a playoff run, and he was similarly inaccurate tonight. His second drive of the game resulted in a silly interception, and he finished with three picks and an abysmal passer rating.

If Chip Kelly can win the NFC East with Sanchez as QB, then he needs to be in consideration for Coach of the Year. The Eagles' head coach had his team ready for "Monday Night Football".

I still have questions about their defense, but they proved that they can move the ball on any team in this league. Their no-huddle offense is one of the NFL's best.
