I don’t know how he does it, but Carson Wentz always finds a way to outdo himself with awful turnovers. Just when you think he just had the worst play of his career, he’ll come back with a mistake two weeks later that makes you say, “OK, that’s the worst play Wentz has ever had.”
Well, it happened again on Sunday.
With the Colts tied with the Titans late in the fourth quarter and just outside their own end zone, Wentz found himself staring down multiple Titans pass rushers on a slow-developing play. Wentz knew he couldn’t take a sack in his own end zone, so in desperation, he sort of threw the ball up and hoped for the best.
That plan went just about as poorly as it could have gone.
Here's the video

Wentz floated a pass up with his left hand (!!!) to nobody around the line of scrimmage, and the Titans’ Elijah Molden cashed in on the easiest interception for a touchdown he’ll ever have. At the time, it looked like that Wentz had almost literally thrown the game away.
The Titans, though, would commit a pass interference in the end zone on the ensuing drive and set the Colts up to force overtime.
Still, fans were not kind to Wentz after that terrible, no-good, awful interception.
This was how Twitter reacted
One of the very worst things I've seen a QB do.
Carson Wentz lost his mind.
Left handed pass, Molden easily pick it off. #Titans score and lead 31-24.pic.twitter.com/ZdtZ7Op3jL

I thought Carson Wentz was going to take a safety to lose, then I thought he was going to fumble in the end zone to lose, then, finally, he threw a goal line pick six to lose. The beautiful game.

Carson Wentz made up for 5 interception free games with the single worst interception I’ve ever seen.

I think it’s time we consider that Wentz is an avant garde artist https://t.co/3J3KhmZU7r

And despite that interception, the Colts went to overtime, but the Titans would win off another back-breaking Wentz pick. That’s the Carson Wentz experience in a nutshell.
