Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, Head Coach Doug Pederson backed his veteran quarterback to come through over the next 4 weeks.

“Things aren’t going the way we had hoped for. And you know, he and I are in this together, and we’re going to get this thing turned around and fixed and I’ve got a lot of confidence in him that he’ll get it done and got confidence in myself that I can get it done and he’s had a really good week of practice,” Pederson said on Saturday.

The Eagles face a crucial end to the season with respect to their playoff aspirations. Wentz has thrown for 2,300+ yards with 14 TDs to his name.

But he also has 14 interceptions to his name, which highlights his struggles in 2020. He will definitely be expected to step up his game in the coming weeks.
