DETROIT - Five years from now, Carson Wentz will have a catalog of situations like the two he faced Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Lions and they will define him as a quarterback.
The great ones make their coaches, teammates and fans feel like they are never out of a game regardless of how glum the situation. The Hall of Famers get the football back at the end of a tight game and turn desperate times into victorious outcomes.
The Eagles' rookie quarterback batted .500 in that regard against the Lions, but his head coach and his teammates still felt as if their rookie quarterback had been special again during a 24-23 loss at Ford Field.
