Steelers DE: Carson Wentz 'Played Like A Freakin' Hall Of Famer'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Where to even begin?
23-31, 301 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers. That's three starts, three wins, and no team turnovers for Carson Wentz. That's never been done before. 102 NFL pass attempts, five touchdown passes, and no turnovers. That's never been done before either.
The 23-years-old kid is now 3-0 and the NFL's top story, evident by the lede in this week's Monday Morning Quarterback article.

Cameron Heyward, a fifth-year Steelers defensive end and former 2011 first-round pick, has seen plenty of young quarterbacks before. In fact, he's sacked a bunch of them. Not Wentz.
"He played like a freakin' Hall of Famer," Heyward said of Wentz via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I don't know how many passes he missed, but he managed the game, got the ball to his receivers, got the ball to the running backs. We just have to get a lot better."
The Eagles blew out the Steelers 34-3 on Sunday. They now lead the NFL in points per game (30.7) and point differential (+65). The Eagles have six takeaways, zero giveaways, and 10 sacks.

"It's not about him," Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich told ESPN.com. "As good of a player as he is, it's not about him. It's about our team. And that's what we want it to be about. We want it to be about our team. And I think he really gets that."
