Wentz has completed 69.6 percent of his passing attempts for 3,074 yards and 21 touchdowns with seven interceptions through 11 games this season.
He missed the first two games of the season while recovering from the knee injury that prematurely ended his MVP-caliber 2017 campaign.
His final game was against the Rams in L.A in Week 13.
Luckily the Eagles can win with their backup.
He proved that in last year’s Superbowl.
