FROM WENTZ HE CAME

-

Carson Wentz put on a magic act evading pressure, the Philadelph­ia Eagles’ defense ratcheted up its pass rush and the result was the end of a losing streak against Washington and a Gatorade bath for coach Doug Pederson.

Behind two touchdowns from Wentz and four sacks of Kirk Cousins, the Eagles beat Washington 30-17 on Sunday in a sloppy, mistake-filled season opener between the NFC East rivals.

“I don’t know how the guy does it,” left tackle Jason Peters said of Wentz, who was 26 of 39.

The game opened with Washington receiver Terrelle Pryor losing sight of the ball in the sun, just the beginning of an ugly effort from the home team.

“I put this game on myself,” said Pryor.
