1. Wentz channels his inner-Houdini….again

Honestly, we still don’t know how he did it. Think Randall Cunningham. That’s the best way we can describe it. Sure McNabb was mobile, but when we talk about the ability to escape trouble, Carson Wentz might be right there with “Scramblin’ Randall”. This guy has eyes in the back of his head.

The first touchdown of 2017 came in grand style. Wentz ducked a couple of defenders, leaped tall buildings in a single bound and rocketed a pass, with his eyes closed, to the now-dependable Nelson Agholor. Number 13 stepped out of a tackle and pranced his way into the end zone.

Take a look:

Okay, maybe we exaggerated a tad. Still, this one got anyone who “bleeds green” out of their seats. It may have even gotten a few fans who could care less about Eagles football to stand up and cheer as well. If you didn’t believe in Wentz prior to that, you probably became a believer then.
