Carson Wentz named NFC offensive player of the week

Carson Wentz was named NFC offensive player of the week on Wednesday, the first time in his career he has won the award and the first time in Eagles history that a rookie quarterback received the distinction.

Wentz went 23 for 31 for 301 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. He is 66 for 102 for 769 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions for the 3-0 Eagles this season.

The last Eagles player to win offensive player of the week was Jeremy Maclin 2014. The last Eagles quarterback to win it was Nick Foles in 2013.
