Good for him.
Vikings QB2 Carson Wentz checked a big milestone off his proverbial bucket list on Sunday when he made his first-ever start for Minnesota, the team he rooted for growing up. And to make it that much sweeter, the game"Yesterday hit a little different!" Wentz wrote.
"Starting under center for my childhood team and having my whole crew there supporting me was such a blast and a blessing! Just another reminder that God's got a plan and is the author of our story! Awesome team win on top of that. Such a fun and special group and glad to be apart of it! On to the next!"In his Minnesota debut, Wentz went 14-of-20 for 173 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals defense did manage to sack him three times, but that didn't stop the Vikes from running away with a 48-10 win. The league vet, now in his tenth season, will remain QB1 in Week 4, when Minnesota travels to Ireland to play the Steelers in Dublin. J.J.
