Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera made the decision last week to turn back to Carson Wentz as starting quarterback after Taylor Heinicke started nine games. And it didn’t take long for that decision to backfire.
Wentz — who wasn’t expected to have a short leash in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns — threw a pair of interceptions in the opening 16 minutes of the game. Understandably, the crowd at FedEx Field had seen enough.
