For Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz, Sunday will be a homecoming of sorts. He will face the Philadelphia Eagles for the very first time. The Eagles drafted him with the second overall pick in 2016.
It’s a big game for Washington. It might feel like an even bigger game to Wentz.
After all, the Eagles are now quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts – the man who bumped Wentz from his starting position in 2020. Not only that, Hurts is having a blinder of a start to the season.
Today’s wallpaper is Carson Wentz, who despite a lot of bad-mouthing in the off-season, has played pretty well so far. It took him a half to get going on Sunday but eventually he put in a pretty solid performance. It wasn’t enough to get past Detroit, but it wasn’t really on Carson.
He seems like a natural #WallpaperWednesday selection being that in Week 3, he will go against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Washington Commanders just couldn’t put it together on Sunday. They suffered a demoralizing 36-27 loss to the Detroit Lions. In doing so, they dropped to 1-1 on the season.
The Philadelphia Eagles on the other hand, are coming off a strong 24-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Jalen Hurts threw one touchdown pass, and ran for two more touchdowns. The Beagles are now 2-0 in 2022.
So how is this week’s upcoming NFC East match-up, shaping up?
The Washington Commanders came out flat against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. They fell behind 22-0 by half-time and just could not claw their way back in a very disappointing 36-27 loss.
There were some decent performances, but there were also some things to groan about.
It’s Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season. Washington will visit Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions. It will be the first away game of the Commanders.
Washington is coming off a hard-fought 28-22 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Lions fell 38-35 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Who’s playing and who’s not?
Here is a list of both teams’ inactives:
Today’s wallpapers are to acknowledge three guys that really put it together against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. That allowed the Commanders to come away with a 28-22 victory, and a 1-0 record.
Carson Wentz threw four touchdowns. No Washington quarterback has ever done that in their debut.
Jahan Dotson pulled down two touchdowns. No Washington receiver has ever done that in their debut.
Terry McLaurin? Well he was just doing Terry McLaurin things when he snatched a 49-yard touchdown. He only caught two balls but the 49-yarder was the game’s longest play.
Despite a hard-fought win by the Commanders on Sunday, it wasn’t all sunshine. Rookie defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis suffered what appears to be a torn MCL . He will require season-ending surgery and was put on the injury reserve list. Mathis was chosen 47th overall by Washington in the 2022 NFL Draft. Mathis was a defensive star at Alabama. … Read more

Washington will now face the Detroit Lions – who lost 38-35 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Lions scored 14 points in the 4th quarter but fell short of completing the comeback. They will be out for their first win of the season in their home opener at Ford Field.
Washington have struggled with the Lions “lately”.
The Washington Commanders came out firing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and rode a hot start to a 28-22 opening day victory. Washington scored on their first two possessions of the home game for the first time since 1991. That’s not a typo, they haven’t done it since George Herbert Walker Bush was President.
They also didn’t score on an opening drive last year, until Week 13.
The Commanders may not have been perfect, but they gave the Fed Ex crowd plenty to cheer about, and did enough to come away with the win.
Here are some of the positives and negatives from the game.
It’s opening day. Washington will hit Fed Ex Field as the Commanders for the very first time.
So who’s playing and who’s not?
