Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz has been called out for his recent performances on the field. Even head coach Ron Rivera claimed the reason the team has struggled compared to the rest of the NFC East is due to their quarterback.
In Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears, Wentz and the Commanders were able to win 12-7, despite just 99 passing yards from the quarterback. Besides his lackluster performance on the field, his wardrobe was also a point of discussion.

Wentz spoke to reporters after the game wearing a camouflage suit jacket with suede elbows and a black dress shirt underneath, accompanied by a black fedora hat.
Fans did not hold back. Some said that he looked like a DJ at a farmer's wedding while others compared his looks to Freddy Kruger, a fictional character in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" film series. Others said that he looked like he should be cast in a musical.
Ron Rivera says he is responsible for trading for Wentz
The Washington Commanders organization is in complete turmoil at this point. Team owner Dan Snyder is under intense scrutiny for his actions, including financial imbiguities and personal conduct that could see him removed from the team.
On Thursday, a report from ESPN made headlines, saying that Snyder was gathering information on the league and other NFL owners in hopes of an insurance policy to retain ownership.
In that same report, a source claimed that Snyder was the one who pushed management to trade for Carson Wentz. After the game, Rivera addressed the report and said that he was the one who wanted the quarterback in Washington. He added that he was the one that did all of the homework on Wentz before completing the trade.
"Everybody keeps wanting to say I didn’t want anything to do with Carson. Well, bullshit. I’m the f****** guy that pulled out the sheets of paper, that looked at the analytics, that watched the tape and freaking — when we were in Indianapolis. And that’s what pi**es me off. Because the young man doesn’t deserve to have that all the time. I’m sorry, I’m done.”
Rivera then walked out of the press room, abruptly ending his time in front of the media.
