Carson Wentz - Critical gaffes in OT loss Wentz completed 27 of 51 passes for 231 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Colts' 34-31 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for... Impact Wentz came into the critical divisional clash having thrown all of one interception all season, but he broke that favorable pattern with two of the more ill-timed picks he'll likely toss all year. The two turnovers came in the closing minutes of regulation and overtime, the first giving the Titans' a walk-in, go-ahead pick-six with 1:26 remaining and featuring a surprisingly careless left-handed throw from the sixth-year pro at his own two-yard line. While Wentz subsequently made up for the gaffe by leading a five-play, 75-yard drive to send the game into overtime, he doubled down on his game-changing errors with a second interception on a deep pass intended for Michael Pittman that was snagged by Kevin Byard with 5:48 remaining in the extra period. The Titans would go on to kick a game-winning field goal, leaving Wentz with a serious blemish on his overall day, including from a fantasy perspective. He and the Colts will now look to regroup quickly, as a Week 9 Thursday night home date against the Jets awaits.
