Carson Wentz continues to struggle, Eagles lose to Seahawks
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz completed 25-of-45 passes for 215 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception in a 23-17, Week 12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.
What It Means:
Wentz was also sacked six times and he maintained his league-lead with a 15th interception. The former No. 2 overall pick boosted his line by connecting with Richard Rodgers for a meaningless 33-yard Hail Mary touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. He also added some value on the ground with his third-most rushing yards (42) of the year. One possible silver lining for Wentz is that Jalen Hurts only played two snaps.
Wentz scored 19.8 FanDuel points in Week 12, his highest total since Week 7. He is adding the third-fewest Passing Net Expected Points in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks, ahead of only Sam Darnold and Jake Luton. Wentz's adjusted completion percentage is sixth-worst among quarterbacks with at least a quarter of their team's dropbacks, ahead of Mitchell Trubisky, Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, Joe Flacco, and Darnold.
