PHILADELPHIA – Eagles coach D Pedg Pedersen said in the fourth quarter that Jalin Hurts pulled in favor of Nat Sudfeld early in the fourth quarter. Sunday night’s regular-season final match against the Washington Washington football team was “coached to win.”
The Padres added that it was their decision alone and not impressed by the front office fees, which saw the Eagles’ draft condition improve as a result of a 20-14 loss that led Washington to the NFC East title. A win for Philadelphia would give the New York Giants a 6-10 division by tiebreaker.
The Padres said the plan to go into Sunday night’s game was to give Sudfeld some time to play.
“Nate has been here for four years and I think he deserves a chance to get some pictures,” Padders said.
The Peders pushed back on the idea that he was trying to lose the game by noting that veterans like Brandon Graham, Zack Ertz and Darius Slay played. However, receivers Elson Jeffrey and quarterback Carson Wentz were both healthy scratches, and according to Pederson, the switch from Hurtz to Sudfeld was not about operation.
Hertz finished the ception૨- yard with an interception and two rushing touchdowns for an૨ yards. In the fourth start he was drawn 17-14 with Washington.
“As a rival, I play to win,” Hurts said when asked if he was disappointed to leave the game. “You have to trust the coach with that.”
The Eagles finished the season 4-11-1 and finished sixth in the April NFL Draft. The win would have moved them to ninth overall.
