Eagle Eye: Lions Will Bring The Heat

You would think that with this being his rookie season, Carson Wentz would have faced a ton of pressure at this point on third down, right? Seems only reasonable that defensive coordinators would look to pressure a first-year quarterback on the most important down in the game. Surprisingly, that is actually not the case. The opposite, in fact, is true. Only one quarterback in football has been blitzed less on third down than Carson Wentz, who is 2-of-4 for 29 yards with a sack, a run for 6 yards and a pass interference call downfield. That adds up to just seven dropbacks where Wentz has been blitzed which, over three games, is a very, very low number.
