And this task was apparently made a little easier for the football team from the US capital: Because Eagles trainer Doug Pederson had his starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (no touchdown pass, one interception, but two touchdown runs) on them at the beginning of the fourth quarter Bank and instead brought Nate Sudfeld, who has not been on an NFL field since 2018. However, this only posted catastrophic values ​​until the end of the game: a meager five throws, seven bad passes, one interception, no touchdown. And so in the end Philly lost 14:20, which helped Washington to move into the finals after an overall low-level game and the Giants, understandably, boiled up their anger.

Judge values ​​the spirit of the sport

Quotes like “absolute mockery” or the accusation of “deliberate tanking” were loud – and underlined again, for example, by Giants trainer Joe Judge this Monday (local time). The visibly angry head coach said to US media: “We will never do something like that as long as I am the head coach of the New York Giants I clearly coached the team to win the game. ”

A half-baked apology for Judge, he indirectly attacked the apparently missing attitude in Philadelphia and referred to himself and his team with his explanation. That the words were directed at Eagles, however, was pretty obvious. For Trainer Judge, the creed applies in every competition to always give everything – this is what sport stands for: “Not respecting the commitment of everyone in the National Football League and not respecting the game itself, in which one does not have the full Bringing 60 minutes of full commitment, we’ll never do that as long as I’m a coach here. ”

Eagles players apparently mad at their own coach

Food for the Giants outcry, which NFL experts and, of course, football fans shared in social networks, there was also direct from Philly. Because even during the Sunday Night Game against Washington you could see the discarded playmaker Hurts sitting on the bench shaking his head and talking to himself. The wording, probably made: “That is not correct.” On top of that, US media reports how Eagles professionals apparently had to be discouraged from attacking their own trainer Pederson after quarterback Hurts was benched. In line with this, Philly’s running back Miles Sanders spoke at “94.1 WIP” on Tuesday (local time): “If I’m honest … nobody made this decision. Nobody. That’s all I can say about it. And I know not who was behind this decision, all I know is that many people on the team were confused about this decision. ”

Unsurprisingly, the lack of understanding about this approach is still huge from many sides, although Philadelphia, which has already been eliminated, now has a higher draft pick for 2021 due to this defeat.
