LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Carson Wentz went to the sideline after throwing interceptions on consecutive plays, stomped the ground and looked at coach Ron Rivera. “Hey, you're going to have to win this,” Rivera said.

Wentz responded, “I will," before walking away. Wentz did just that, rebounding from the costly mistakes to complete his third and fourth touchdowns and lead Washington a 28-22 comeback victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in his debut for the team now known as the Commanders. "You make a couple bad plays, it’s time to go fix it," Wentz said. "It’s a tough stretch there to bounce back from, but guys did a good job.

Everybody was rallying around each other, and obviously we got it done.” It was Wentz's first four-TD game since the day he tore the ACL in his left knee while with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017.

And it came with former Eagles coach Doug Pederson on the visiting sideline in charge of the Jaguars for the first time. “He played a heck of a football game," Pederson said. ”Showed a lot of composure and brought his team back.
