LANDOVER, Md. — Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz He defeated his ex-coach, won his first game with the new team, and showed his new coach what it was like to be a quarterback — all the good and bad.
Washington’s first game was Wentz’s. He threw for 313 yard and four touchdowns. Jacksonville Jaguars. When Doug Pederson was in Philadelphia, Wentz played five seasons for the Jaguars.
Wentz described the win as “great”. It was great to be able to rally and get the job done when it really mattered. This is a cool way to begin.
Wentz’s inability to rally the Commanders was due to his consecutive interceptions, which led to 10 Jaguars point. Wentz called it a “ugly stretch”, because Wentz was late on one pick and forced the second.
It was the rollercoaster ride that defined Wentz’s career. Ron Rivera is his coach and he knows exactly how to handle it this season.
“I’ll be taking antacids,” said he. We’re going to ride together, we’ll take the good with us, and we’ll take the bad with us. After doing a lot research, we felt confident and comfortable that he was the right guy for us. He is also a man that we can trust.
Wentz was unable to resist the urge to pound the ground, and looked at Rivera who said he would now have the task of winning the game. Wentz responded, “I will,” then calmly walked off — and won.
Wentz stated, “That’s just reality.” It’s okay to make some mistakes, and then it’s time for you to fix them. It’s not a good idea to try and fix everything at once. Do the right thing next, then go on to the next play.
Then he did. With Jacksonville leading by 22-14, Wentz showed big-play potential that led Washington in March to trade for him. Washington was hoping Wentz would solve their decades-long quest to find a stable quarterback. Washington had Wentz as its 33rd starting quarterback since 1991.
Wentz demonstrated why they believe there are better days ahead by completing a four-play drive with an impressive 49-yard pass to receiver. Terry McLaurinHe was taken by surprise.
Wentz led a 13-play drive to score the go-ahead touchdown. He completed five of eight passes for 59 yards, and connected with a rookie receiver Jahan Dotson For a 24-yard touchdown pass, there is 1:52 left.
Wentz said that he had played a lot in football and “just knowing from the past that trying to do too much at those times can come back to haunt me.” They believed in me and the guys made plays when it was important.”
The season of Wentz ended last year with a 15-point loss in Jacksonville. Indianapolis Colts He was guaranteed a playoff spot and almost certain his fate after one season. The Colts reached an agreement to trade him less than two months after acquiring him in Philadelphia.
This is a new Jaguars team, one coached by Pederson. Wentz caught up to him before the game.
Wentz stated, “Two decades ago, we were here (with Philadelphia) in Week 1.” He’s someone I admire and wish the best. It was great to meet him again, compete against him and have fun.
Wentz spoke with his new team after the game. He emphasized the Commanders’ resilience and told them how he needs to improve.
McLaurin stated that “but the key point” was how McLaurin responded to pressure and maintained his poise.
“He doesn’t get too high, he doesn’t get too low. His character is tested by his ability to respond so well after tough turns. There will be many chances to win some of the games.
