Wentz played in week 16 after not playing since week six. He came in during the fourth quarter and played well. On the season, Wentz has made six starts. During that time he has thrown 11 touchdowns to six interceptions. Head coach Ron Rivera pointed to Wentz being fully healthy as the reason the switch was made.
