Overview
- With 33 seconds left and a 10-7 lead, Philadelphia faced fourth-and-6 at Green Bay’s 35 and chose a deep pass to A.J. Brown rather than punting or attempting a roughly 53-yard field goal, resulting in an incompletion.
- Green Bay moved to the Eagles’ 46 and attempted a 64-yard kick at the horn, which Brandon McManus missed badly to end the game.
- Explaining the choice, Nick Sirianni said he avoided a long kick into the wind that would require a low-trajectory ball and affirmed he would “stand put” on going for the clincher.
- ESPN Analytics, as cited in coverage, gave the Eagles a higher win probability by punting (98.6%) than going for it (93.7%), underscoring the postgame debate.
- MNF broadcasters Joe Buck and Troy Aikman questioned the call on air, as earlier Packers aggressiveness also drew attention with a failed fourth-and-9 and a fourth-and-1 shotgun run that ended in a fumble and illegal-formation flag.
