When the Washington Commanders acquired Carson Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts during the offseason, there was high expectation for him to continually deliver for the team in crucial moments of games. This was far from the case in the Commanders’ Week 5 home clash against the Tennessee Titans.

After struggling to make the most out of pivotal drives and failing to convert key third downs for much of the contest, the Wentz-led Commanders offense was provided with one final opportunity to steal the game away from the Titans. Wentz orchestrated an 18-play drive in the fourth quarter that included a trip to the red zone, but the drive culminated in dismay for Washington.

On a third down play, Wentz attempted to connect with J.D. McKissic, who finished with five receptions for 37 receiving yards in the contest. Titans linebacker David Long Jr. ended up catching Wentz by surprise, as he jumped the pass to secure both the interception and the 21-17 win for the AFC South side.

Speaking during his post-game press conference, Wentz took some time to react to his game-ending interception.

“Tough, very frustrating,” Wentz said. “An emotional roller-coaster there.

“You're feeling very confident there and your ability to go down and moving the ball, converting to stay on the field and you get first and goal from the 2 and your thinking we've got this. We've got a couple chances here and hats off to them, they made a couple good plays, and it's definitely frustrating and kind of stings a little bit extra because I thought we had it.”

The Commanders now hold a 1-4 record on the season and sit in last place in the NFC East standings. Still, Wentz is not throwing in the towel on his team and the campaign.

“I think obviously there's frustration with everything,” Wentz said. “Things we've got to clean up, but again, a lot of sense of belief in the guys in that locker room. I see it from those coaches, I see it in the eyes of each and every guy in that locker room. Obviously, it's frustrating.

“There's a lot that we can clean up and all those things, but I still see a lot of faith, a lot of belief, a lot of confidence, and I have yet to see that waiver. I look forward to us building off of that and hopefully turning this thing around.”

Washington will now look to snap its four-game losing streak on Thursday with its road matchup against the Chicago Bears.
