After Doug Pederson and Andy Reid embraced following the Eagles’ loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, Reid complimented Pederson’s team and made special mention of Carson Wentz.
“That quarterback is something,” Reid said.
Reid’s sentiment was similar to the source of optimism in Philadelphia entering the season, and the first two weeks only fortified the confidence. Wentz completed 25 of 46 pass attempts for 333 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and 55 rushing yards in the 27-20 loss. The performance had its blemishes – the interception was a costly mistake – but it’s hard to be discouraged by Wentz two games into his second season.
