He may have changed uniforms, but the last time the Eagles saw Wentz, he was still the same, with no pocket presence, anxious under pressure and further proved why the former Eagles’ quarterback is now with his third team in three years.
The Eagles’ defense knew to speed up Wentz meant his mechanics would break down—and they did, in the Eagles’ impressive 24-8 victory over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field.
The Eagles sacked Wentz a career-high nine times for minus-58 yards and held Washington to 1-for-3 in the red zone. Entering the game, the Commanders had converted five-of-five red zone chances.
