Wentz has now gone 16 straight regular-season games, including last season with at least one scoring strike. For all those saying he’s struggling, he’s nothing short of magnificent at times while playing shorthanded.
On top of having the active touchdown streak, Wentz has 56 touchdowns against one interception in the red zone in his last 37 games played and has an average of 1.51 red-zone touchdowns, tops in the league as well.
After two injury-plagued seasons, it looks like Carson Wentz is finally starting to find his groove.
