Daily News | ‘9 sacks — that’s crazy’: Eagles defense pummels Carson Wentz in a win over the Commanders
LANDOVER, Md. — Jason Kelce held up the grass-stained No. 11 jersey that Carson Wentz exchanged with him, but it might have been better served going to one of the Eagles defensive players who pummeled the Commanders quarterback on Sunday.
The Eagles hit him 17 times, forced him to fumble twice — one of which he lost — and had the quarterback seeing ghosts in the secondary. Wentz’s final passing numbers don’t look egregious, but his first-half statistics were truly indicative of how much he and the Commanders struggled vs. defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s unit.
But the key to the pressure as the game wore on was in the Eagles’ coverages and taking away Wentz’s first reads. Gannon mixed up his calls and used disguise to keep him from getting a pre-snap bead on where to go at the snap. The coordinator hasn’t been as reliant on deep zones and has been allowing his corners to play more man defense.
Graham had arguably his best game in years. The 13-year veteran notched 2½ sacks, five hits, six tackles, and one apiece of a forced fumble and a pass breakup. Outside linebacker Haason Reddick got off the schneid and tallied 1½ sacks, as did defensive end Josh Sweat. And inside linebacker T.J. Edwards had the Eagles’ last Wentz takedown.
“He was just like, ‘Now I’ll know what it feels like to hear BG on the other side,’” Graham said of his pregame conversation with Wentz. “I just told him I hope he has a great year, but just not today.”
