Twitter reacts: Carson Wentz has a chance to help the Colts and fails
A lot of Indianapolis Colts fans can't forgive Carson Wentz for how last season ended ‒ two dud performances that took the Colts out of the AFC playoffs.
The team traded him in the offseason, but he's still disappointing Colts fans.
Wentz and the Washington Commanders were driving toward a go-ahead touchdown late Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Wentz threw an interception at the goal line in the closing seconds, and the Titans won 21-17.
Trade terms:Will the Colts get a 2nd-round pick from Washington?
Had Washington won, the Colts ‒ even at 2-2-1 ‒ would be leading the AFC South. The Titans are 3-2. The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) have lost three in a row after shutting out the Colts. They lost to the Houston Texans (1-3-1) 13-6 on Sunday.
The Colts next two opponents: the Jaguars at home, and at the Titans.
Of course, Wentz still has games against the Colts and Texans, so he has plenty more chances to stir memories for Colts fans.

Once again Carson Wentz keeps the Colts from jumping the Titans...
Smh 🤦♂️— Nathan Alan Barnhart (@N8_Barnhart) October 9, 2022
Carson Wentz had first and goal from the 2 yard line with 19 seconds left in the game. A TD would lift the Commanders over the Titans and give the Indianapolis #Colts the AFC South division lead.
Interception. 🤦🏼♂️

Real men of genius: Budweiser recognites you Carson Wentz for screwing the Colts over yet again. 1 and goal on the 3 yard line and can’t even get 3 yards #interception when people were open in route going into the end zone.

To the Colts fans STILL crying to have Wentz back, please go join him in Washington. He may not have been the only problem, but he damn sure wasn’t the solution. https://t.co/SBhFOT1O2B

Colts fans trying to beat on Carson Wentz. Meanwhile, the Colts can’t average more than 14 points a game and will have about 3 turnovers from Matt Ryan, with a fraction of the arm strength, and none of the mobility.
