Carson Wentz ended the 2019 season on a disappointing note after suffering a loss in the Wild Card Playoffs to Seattle Seahawks.

Wentz left the game with a head injury in the first quarter after defensive end Jadeveon Clowney made a helmet-to-helmet hit on him. But he was tipped to have another run at leading Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2020.

However, things did not go as per plan. Wentz and the Eagles suffered a below-par outing in the league last. They finished at the bottom of the NFC East franchise with a 4-11 record behind rivals, Dallas Cowboys.
