Philadelphia Eagles Carson Wentz could hardly have started his NFL career in better fashion. The rookie quarterback capped off his first NFL drive with a beautiful 19-yard touchdown strike to Jordan Matthews.
The FIRST TD pass of @CJ_Wentz's NFL career…
BEAUTIFUL. 😍 #CLEvsPHI https://t.co/GpHJ2oIGn5

The pass could not have been thrown much better.
Overall, Wentz went 4-for-5 on the drive with 57 yards passing on the drive. His cause was also aided by a stellar one-handed grab from tight end Zach Ertz.
Oh. My. Goodness.
You need to see this @ZERTZ_86 one-handed grab. 😳 #CLEvsPHI https://t.co/thbaz5KVOr

It’s nice to have a little help from your friends.
The Eagles lead the Cleveland Browns 7-0 in the first quarter.
