Watch: Carson Wentz Catches Deflected Pass, Barrels Ahead for First Down
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz helped improve his completion percentage on Sunday morning, catching a deflected pass off a defensive lineman in the first quarter against the Jaguars. Wentz hauled in the batted ball at Wembley Stadium in London and sprinted forward for the first down, keeping Philadelphia's opening drive alive.
Sunday's catch marked Wentz's second career reception and his first since 2016.
Despite his receiving acumen, Wentz couldn't engineer a scoring drive after the fortunate bounce. A fumble at Jacksonville 37-yard-line gave possession to the Jaguars, leading to a field goal from Jags kicker Josh Lambo.
