There is no rational reason to blame Doug Pederson for Carson Wentz’s torn left ACL. That was not a designed quarterback run, the fateful play that ended with a negated Wentz touchdown, with three minutes, 53 seconds remaining in the third quarter of Sunday’s 43-35 victory over the host Los Angeles Rams.
As Joe Buck and Troy Aikman pointed out on the broadcast, Wentz was trying to throw to Nelson Agholor on the left side, but Agholor wasn’t open. Wentz pulled the ball down and headed to the end zone, as just about any QB would do in that situation.
