Wentz's return

Carson Wentz may be the only NFL player I can recall who actually went into the locker room after an initial concussion diagnosis on the sideline and then returned to the game.

And Doug Pederson's decision to re-insert Wentz into the second half of the penultimate game - a meaningless contest for the Eagles - was inexplicable. Just because Wentz was "cleared" to return to play doesn't mean you actually have to put him in. He's the franchise QB for chrissakes. Hopefully he plays for 12 years for the Eagles. Why risk that bright future on a middling, pointless game now?

Even more inexplicable was the Eagles' decision to run a double reverse after Wentz returned in which your recently concussed QB became the lead blocker?!?!?! That play calling is downright negligent.

And memo to Cris Collinsworth. The NFL concussion process didn't "work exactly like it was supposed to." The spotter missed Wentz's head slamming to the turn on the roughing the passer penalty. In fact, it took the intervention of pro bowl left tackle Jason Peters to tell both Wentz and the coaching staff that the rookie QB needed to leave the game. That's how this system is supposed to work? It was an utter failure but for a teammate's concern. And once again made a joke out of the league's concussion protocols and of an individual team's coaching staff's concern for the long-term health of one of their players.

But other than that, the win and preventing the Giants from clinching a playoff berth at the Linc was great.
