The Philadelphia Eagles rode some stellar play by Carson Wentz down the stretch of the regular season to a NFC East title and a home playoff game.
And now they might have to go on without him for the rest of Sunday’s wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks thanks to a head injury from what sure looked like a cheap shot by Jadeveon Clowney.

The QB’s head bounced off the ground and he left the game. Then he went back to the locker room for more tests.
