Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz got into a heated physical confrontation with New England Patriots' Matthew Judon in their latest matchup. The reason for the confrontation was unclear at the time. However, Wentz has recently revealed his reason for being so angry with Judon.
Wentz felt that the Judon and the Patriots defense crossed a line at one point in the third quarter. After a Deatrich Wise sack, Wentz got in the face of Judon, and he was so angry that some Colts teammates had to hold him back.
A replay of the incident showed Matthew Judon pushing and shoving Wentz in the head and neck area while Wentz was still on the ground. However, Wentz has provided more detail as to his anger with the Pats' star rusher. Wentz said (via IndyStar):
“Don’t need to go into specifics, obviously, but when a man’s ability to reproduce is being in question and there’s some other extracurriculars, guys’ hands need to be at their sides,” Wentz said. “Let’s just say that. When that happens, you can get pretty riled up.”
After the next play of the game, Wentz rushed into the field and had to be held back once again. Colts left guard Quenton Nelson also provided his comments on the incident (via IndyStar):
“It takes a lot to make Carson upset,” left guard Quenton Nelson said. “We have Carson’s back.”
The Colts ultimately finished the game as winners, 27-17, thanks to many good individual performances. The Indianapolis team took a significant advantage in the first quarter and built on their lead. The Pats' 17 points in the last quarter were not enough to take the Colts' victory away. Carson Wentz and The Colts currently 2nd in the AFC South. They face the Arizona Cardinals next.
