Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz was sacked nine times and hit 17 times in Sunday’s 24-8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Through three games, no NFL quarterback has been sacked more than Wentz.
Some would blame the offensive line, but it’s more complex than that. Every play is different; sometimes, the offensive line gives the quarterback plenty of protection; other times, not so much. In Wentz’s case, he’s been sacked an NFL-high 15 times. And not all of those sacks are the fault of the offensive line.
