“That’s what I signed up for. The scrutiny, the challenges, the adversity, all of it. I’ve got to handle it all — the good, bad and the ugly,” Wentz said.

Without a doubt, coach Pederson will be assessing his options at the moment. We can’t help but wonder if Wentz has already played his last game as a starter for the Eagles.
