The Philadelphia Eagles don’t have the greatest lineage at the quarterback position, but one of the NFL’s gold standard franchises, the Birds have had their share of special signal-callers.
Donovan McNabb holds the majority of the Eagles single-season and career passing records at quarterback, but Carson Wentz is on his way to shattering every single record outside of rushing yards for a quarterback.
After two injury-plagued seasons, Wentz has taken that next step as an elite signal-caller and on Sunday, he’ll have the chance to lead the Eagles into the postseason, while becoming the franchises first 4,000-yard passer in a season.
Wentz sits just 250 passing yards behind Donovan McNabb’s 3,916 yards, set in 2008 season.
Making the accomplishment even more phenomenal, Wentz will likely accomplish the feat without having any wideout amass over 600 yards receiving.
Wentz almost completed the task during his rookie season in 2016, when he passed for 3,782 yards and 16 touchdowns.
