PHILADELPHIA – Jadeveon Clowney knocked out Carson Wentz, and then Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles.
Wilson threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf, Marshawn Lynch ran for a score and the Seahawks beat the Eagles 17-9 in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs on Sunday night.
“To come back here, back East, it’s a long ways, we were able to do it, pull through,” Wilson said. “We’ve been road warriors, and it’s exciting. We’ve got a great defense, too.”
Making the first postseason start of his NFL career, the 27-year-old Wentz lasted two series before exiting with a head injury after a helmet-to-helmet hit from Clowney.
“I didn’t intend to hurt him. I hope he’s OK,” Clowney said.
