Where Does The Wentz Wagon Stand?

  Carson Wentz made his first career trip to the Meadowlands to face the division rival New York Giants. The game didn't start the way that Wentz, Head Coach Pederson, or Eagles fans would've hoped. Wentz opened with an interception on each of the first-two possessions. Those two possessions pretty much sum up the day for Wentz and the offense. Defense and Special teams kept the game in arms reach and Wentz play better as the game progressed. Unfortunately, the Eagles were never able to capture the lead back and ended up falling to the Giants 28-23. Wentz was 27-47 passing on the day with 346 yards and two interceptions.

Wentz has two passing touchdowns and four interceptions in his last three games.

The no.2-overall-pick of this years NFL draft Carson Wentz started off the season looking nearly flawless, throwing his first 134 pass attempts without an interceptions, getting the Eagles off to a 3-0 start. Since then, the Eagles have gone 1-4 (only win was against the then-undefeated Minnesota Vikings) and Wentz has shown that he has flaws now having thrown five interceptions in four of the last five games.

Wentz, drafted second overall, was drafted to be the Eagles quarterback for the future after the Eagles traded up in the draft to get him. However, it didn't seem as if he would start after the team had already re-signed veteran Sam Bradford and also signed former Kansas City Chiefs backup Chase Daniels. After Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was ruled out for the season with a severe leg injury during practice, they made a trade with the Eagles for Bradford. The Eagles boosted Wentz from third-string quarterback to the starter right before the start of the regular season.

Doug Pederson is just the third head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles since 1999. The team is currently sitting in last place of the division, behind the Redskins who were saved by a tie game with the Cincinnati Bengals.

One interesting thing to remember when looking at this Eagles schedule is the fact that all of the teams losses, thus far, have all come on the road; five of the eight remaining home games are home games. The Eagles aren't in an ideal position in the division standings, after starting the season 3-0. However, they're still in the playoff hunt and the season looks like it could be far from over for this team. Can Carson Wentz keep the Eagles from falling below .500 or could the ship be sinking in Philadelphia?
