Carson Wentz was giving Philadelphia Eagles fans around the world heart palpitations, as he took a beating from the Atlanta Falcons for the better part of their Week 2 matchup. But Wentz showed those concerned individuals that they need to chill out. During the fourth quarter, Wentz faced a third-and-nine situation. Facing an aggressive Atlanta pass rush, Wentz scrambled around the pocket looking to avoid a sack. As he was in the grips of linebacker Vic Beasley Jr., Wentz unleashed an unbelievable pass completion to receiver Mack Hollins for the first down.

How on Earth did Wentz pull that off?!?
