NFL MVP watch: Week 1, Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz vs 5 favorites

Fire up Carson Wentz‘s bandwagon. After a couple of tuneups and 13 missed games over the past two seasons (that includes the playoffs), the ‘Wentz Wagon’ is rolling again. Despite a slow start, the Philadelphia Eagles rebounded and put up 25 second-half points en route to a 32-27 win. Philly rolled, and just like that, ‘Mercedes Wentz’ is officially back in the NFL MVP discussion.

It wasn’t always pretty. Things started a little slowly. That was expected, and that would have been okay had his team not fallen into a 17-0 hole early.
