LONDON – Carson Wentz wore a black turtleneck sweater underneath a gray, double-breasted jacket. Since Prince Harry was out of town, his doppelganger might as well have looked the part.
Well, not quite. But Wentz did make the English capital and its most popular stadium feel like Philadelphia and Lincoln Financial Field with yet another performance that highlighted his Year 3 improvement.
The Eagles quarterback had to overcome another sluggish start, as he fumbled (again) on the opening possession and tossed an interception on the second. But Wentz rebounded with three touchdowns passes and six third-down conversions with his arm and feet, and delivered a fourth-quarter score – a week after he failed to do so – as the Eagles held off the Jaguars, 24-18, at Wembley Stadium.
