Carson Wentz is now the proven face of the Eagles franchise after leading the team to four straight wins and a spot in the 2019 NFL playoffs.
Along the way Wentz was steady, showed great leadership and broke a few of the franchises passing records along the way. On Sunday, Wentz broke Donovan McNabb’s record for passing yards in a season, while also becoming the first Eagles quarterback to pass for over 4,000 yards.
Shortly after Wentz and the Eagles punched their ticket to the playoffs, McNabb congratulated Carson on a job well done.
Congratulations to @cj_wentz today. Many more records ahead for him to set throughout his career in philly. #keepgrinding

McNabb had 3,916 yards during the 2008 season and had previously had five of the top-10 passing seasons in Eagles history before Wentz’s arrival.
