PHILADELPHIA — At the end of another excruciating evening in the football career of Carson Wentz, another playoff opportunity lost due to injury, the hard-luck Eagles quarterback was already looking ahead.
And, it turns out, a victim of incredibly rotten turn of fortune when the NFL post-season rolls around. Two years ago, Wentz blew out his knee late in the season, allowing backup Nick Foles to commandeer the run to the franchise’s Super Bowl title. And last winter it was an injured back that kept him out. On Sunday, he lasted all of half a quarter before the knockout blow from Clowney ended his post-season debut barely after it had started.
“He was a runner and he did not give himself up,” was referee Shawn Smith’s explanation to a pool reporter. “We saw incidental helmet contact and we didn’t rule that to be a foul.” The fans became further agitated the deeper the game wound down and their team could muster no more than three field goals from five drives that advanced deep in Seattle territory.
