Eagles' Carson Wentz: Leads furious comeback
Share Video
Wentz completed 25 of 43 passes for 359 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 22-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night. He also rushed seven times for 14 yards and another score.
Down 21-10 after a Sterling Shepard TD reception with 6:17 remaining, the Eagles found themselves in a similar position to that of a narrow Week 6 loss to the Ravens that saw them nearly pull off a comeback from a two-possession deficit. Wentz quickly went to work, driving his team 78 yards in just four plays, a march highlighted by a 59-yard completion to rookie John Hightower. On Philadelphia's next possession, Wentz capped off a six-play, 71-yard drive with a perfectly thrown 18-yard scoring pass to Boston Scott with just 40 seconds left. Prior to his late-game heroics, the embattled QB opened up the scoring in the contest with a tough one-yard rushing TD. Wentz and his fantasy managers needed this season-best performance after he'd significantly underdelivered on preseason expectations over the first six contests, with multiple injuries to his pass-catching corps playing a part. He'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 8 divisional showdown against the Cowboys on Nov. 1.
