Wentz Leads With MVP-Type Performance

The chants were faint, delivered by a deliriously happy crowd at Lincoln Financial Field, but they were audible, with 11:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. “MVP. MVP. MVP.” Quarterback had just delivered his fourth touchdown pass of the night in a 34-24 win over Washington and the fans couldn’t hold back.

“MVP! MVP! MVP!”

In another virtuoso performance on Monday night, Wentz tossed four touchdowns, completing 17 of 25 passes for 268 yards and an interception that basically served as a punt on the most horrific opening offensive drive the Eagles have had in many moons. Wentz has thrown at least three touchdown passes in three straight games, the first time an Eagles quarterback has accomplished that feat since Bobby Thomason in 1953.
