Wentz, who last played in the venue with the L.A. Rams , lost a fumble and endured an interception in Inglewood during the 37-10 loss. He earned the starting nod Tuesday from the Vikings . His Vikings, however, got buried with a 21-3 halftime deficit and never recovered.
The past No. 2 overall pick in his NFL Draft class became the subject of criticism and ridicule by the online world. Especially following this big turnover.
Fans flocked online to put the 32-year-old on blast online via the social media website X, formerly Twitter.

Even Al Michaels questioned the attitude of Wentz and his head coach Kevin O'Connell as they trekked to halftime.
A Vikings fan posted a lonely clip of a man dressed as Batman letting the rain fall on him — as a sign of feeling desolate about the Vikes.
Emmanuel Acho of Fox Sports 1 tried to compare Wentz to Terry Rozier — who had his name linked to the Thursday morning FBI sting that rocked the NBA.
CBS Sports analyst Todd Fuhrman seemed more sympathetic toward Wentz. But added how much the past Super Bowl winner has fallen.

"It's amazing to think Carson Wentz would have been a NFL MVP if he didn't tear up his knee when playing for the Eagles. I'm not sure he could be a CFL MVP at this point in his career," Fuhrman posted.
Wentz earned the start due to a key NFL injury involving J.J. McCarthy . Although fans became cynical of McCarthy during this wild sideline moment. But he couldn't surpass the 145-yard mark in passing before the six-minute mark of the fourth.
Wentz battled his own ailment, as he noticeably wore a protective sleeve over the left arm. He momentarily grabbed his elbow in agony during one batted pass attempt in the second half. Now he and the Vikings drop to 3-4.
