Amid a rough start to his Washington Commanders career, Carson Wentz pieced together a solid outing on Sunday with a chance to put his team in the win column.
Long intercepted the pass and returned it past midfield. The game clock hit zero, and the Titans secured a 21-17 win. Tennessee improved to 3-2, while Washington dropped to 1-4 in another season that looks beyond repair.
Washington traded for Wentz this offseason, hoping that the twice-castoff former No. 2 pick would be the long-awaited answer to its struggles at quarterback. Through five games, he's resoundingly and predictably not. Wentz entered Sunday averaging 257.8 passing yards per game with eight touchdowns and five interceptions amid a 1-3 start. His interception total tallied for third most in the league. It's the same kind of inconsistent play that's defined his career and prompted both the Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts to bail on him. He shows the flashes of big-play ability that made him a coveted draft selection, but can't overcome his mistakes.
Sunday's game was a microcosm of that trend. Wentz made some outstanding throws, including a 30-yard dime to Dyami Brown for a go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.
