While Week 2 of the NFL season delivered an absurd number of jaw-dropping performances, a few quarterbacks delivered some of the worst stat lines we’ll see this year.
In a week when 10 passers finished with a 100-plus quarterback rating, the likes of Carson Wentz and Daniel Jones weren’t even remotely close to matching those marks. While a bad game doesn’t always guarantee a loss on Sunday, few teams are lucky enough to escape with a victory when their quarterback turns the ball over and can’t hit open receivers.
We saw that on full display with the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and so many others. On a day when their peers thrived, some signal-callers dropped the ball. Here are the five worst quarterback performances from Week 2 of the NFL season.
Carson Wentz, Philadelphia Eagles
If the Eagles made Jalen Hurts the new backup quarterback in Week 2 to motivate Wentz, the plan backfired. Coming off a disastrous Week 1 performance, Wentz at least had the excuse of playing behind a horrendous offensive line in the season-opening loss. Philadelphia did a much better job of protecting him on Sunday and it didn’t make a difference.
