The Eagles are constantly pushing the gas pedal, but critics across the country are wondering if head coach Nick Sirianni should have bypassed an aggressive attempt at a touchdown to run out the clock.
Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts connected with A.J. Brown on a 28-yard touchdown pass with 1:43 left on the clock.
Washington took advantage of the extra time, and Sam Howell found Jahan Dotson in the end zone for a score as time expired, giving the Commanders a chance to force overtime.
Social media reactions to everything and the two-minute scenario were no different.

“At least the Eagles defense can’t be worse in the second half.”
