Ron Rivera makes a bold move and benches Taylor Heinicke | Carson Wentz to start
Carson Wentz will have the chance to lead another team to the playoffs. Today, Ron Rivera made the decision to start the former first round pick against the Cleveland Browns.
The Commanders are 7-7-1 and they need to win if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Rivera made the decision to move on from Taylor Heinicke. Wentz has thrown for 11 touchdowns to six interceptions and 1,612 yards.
The decision may come back to bite the Commanders, but that is why they traded for him. You have to know what you have in your quarterback. If Wentz can beat the Browns and Cowboys the Commanders will be dancing in the playoffs. If he can’t the Commanders maybe watching the playoffs from home.
