The Eagles went for a touchdown late when running out more of the clock could have sealed the win.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown celebrates his touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023, in Philadelphia. 54-yard field goal, but the quick touchdown that left so much time on the clock nearly cost the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.

Running the ball under the two-minute warning is an effective way to seal victories, but Washington’s talented front seven might have altered the Eagles’ late-game approach. They only rushed for 104 yards and scored one touchdown after going for 201 yards in the 25-11 win over the Buccaneers in Week 3.“You’ve seen it a lot of times that when maybe a team gets too conservative in that area, then they don’t score, right?” he said. “And so we saw an opportunity.
