LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Carson Wentz lost a fumble and was sacked nine times in a brutal performance against the team that drafted him. His Washington Commanders fell to 1-2 this season with a 24-8 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Wentz had just 24 yards passing in the first half of his first career game against Philadelphia.

Wentz had thrown for seven touchdowns over his first two starts for Washington.
