The Philadelphia Eagles are confronted with the accusation of “tanking” days after the possibly deliberately lost game against play-off team Washington. New poison arrows are flying from New York, but there has also been great resistance in the team.
He is being pointed at from many directions these days: Eagles trainer Doug Pederson.

“Tanking”, meaning consciously losing for higher draft picks for the coming season, has always been a part of US sport. Especially in the NFL. If, however, “tanking” is obviously practiced for many people, then criticism quickly becomes loud. As is currently the case with the incident in Philadelphia.
What happened anyway? The Eagles were eliminated from the play-off race before the final Week17, but met their direct NFC East competitor Washington. He needed a victory himself to push the previously victorious New York Giants (23:19 against Dallas) back from first place.
