One day after spearheading an offense that helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a Week-17, NFC East-clinching win, Carson Wentz was given another reason to celebrate. He’s been given another year of life. It’s been rough for him professionally over the course of the past two seasons, but through it all, he’s maintained a smile and handled the criticism with class.
Philly vanquished the rival New York Giants to put the finishing touches on a four-game winning streak that put the Eagles over .500 and launched them into the postseason. Not one time did any of us mention that one of the best quarterbacks and best people in the entire NFL had a birthday on the horizon.
