Eagles Clinch NFC East With 29-18 Win Over Commanders After Late Two-Point Try Leads to Brawl

The league is reviewing the melee after Nick Sirianni called the two-point choice a math play, with Dan Quinn bristling at it.

Overview

  • Philadelphia secured a playoff berth and became the NFC East's first repeat champion since 2004 with the 29-18 victory.
  • A two-point run by Saquon Barkley with 4:26 left preceded a fight that resulted in ejections for Tyler Steen, Javon Kinlaw and Quan Martin.
  • Sirianni said going up 19 instead of 18 was a win-probability decision, insisting it was not an attempt to run up the score.
  • Quinn criticized the late attempt and pointed to a rematch in two weeks, while the NFL is expected to review the altercation for potential discipline.
  • Saquon Barkley rushed for 132 yards to surpass 1,000 on the season, and Jalen Hurts went 22-of-30 with two touchdown passes in an efficient outing.
