Carson Wentz is a starting quarterback once again as the Commanders look to clinch a playoff spot
that he, and not Taylor Heinicke, will lead the way when Washington hosts the Browns on Sunday.
Wentz suffered a broken finger in that game against Chicago and went on injured reserve. In his place, Heinicke led the team to a 5-3-1 record. The team is 0-2-1 over the last three games, however, likely prompting the switch back to Wentz, who had one of his best outings of the year off the bench in a 37–20 loss to the 49ers on Saturday. He went 12-of-16 for 123 yards and a touchdown, posting a season-high 117.4 quarterback rating.
Wentz’s up-and-down career has continued in Washington after a trade brought him to the nation’s capital from Indianapolis. On the season, he has completed 62.9% of his throws for 1,612 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. He was 2–4 as starting quarterback before going out with an injury. Washington currently occupies the No. 7 spot in the NFC at 7-7-1, in a strong NFC East that could land all four teams in the playoffs. The Commanders can clinch a playoff spot this weekend if they beat the Browns and the Lions, Seahawks and Packers lose their games.
