Carson Wentz throws 3 TD passes, Eagles beat Panthers 28-23
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carson Wentz said he saw some things from the Carolina Panthers he hadn’t seen on film leading to three first-half sacks and plenty of pressure.
It didn’t bother the Philadelphia Eagles’ second-year quarterback.
Wentz came up big in a huge game, throwing for 222 yards and three touchdowns against one of the NFL’s top defences, and the Eagles beat the Panthers 28-23 on Thursday night to improve to an NFC-best 5-1.
“We kept backs in to handle their linebackers and we did a better job cleaning it up in the second half,” said Wentz, who wasn’t sacked in the second half.
