Adding insult to literal injury, the touchdown was nullified by a holding penalty, which pushed the Eagles back 10 yards. Wentz remained in the game, handed it off twice, then threw two passes. His fourth down pass was caught by Alshon Jeffery for a touchdown.

After throwing the touchdown pass to give Philly the lead, Wentz was examined in the team’s medical tent on the sideline. He was later shown going into the locker room.
