Carson Wentz – Noteworthy
QB Carson Wentz had a statistically terrific game on Sunday, completing 30 of 37 throws for 310 yards and two touchdowns. With the game in the balance, however, Wentz tried to squeeze a tight throw into Alshon Jeffery in the end zone on third-and-2 when running back Wendell Smallwood was wide open in the flat. Wentz then seemed to hold the ball too long on fourth down and got sacked. “That’s a quarterback’s nature is to try to make the play,” Pederson said. “I know this, I want the ball in Carson’s hands at the end of the game. I want him having control over us helping win a football game, and then the guys doing their job. We’re going to continue to work through it. We’re going to continue to coach, teach, instruct, but at the end of the day I want the ball in his hands to help us win a game.”
Zach Ertz – Noteworthy
TE Zach Ertz now has 57 receptions for 618 yards this season after recording nine catches for 138 yards on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
