(AP Photo/Derik Hamilton)PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Eagles won’t be penalized after the NFL looked into the way the team handled its quarterback decisions in the final regular-season game against Washington, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to reveal the conversations.
The Eagles trailed by a field goal when Sudfeld, who hadn’t thrown a pass in a game since 2018, entered.
Giants players and their fans were angry that Pederson benched Hurts, feeling the Eagles tanked.
Eagles running back Miles Sanders, who was one of several starters inactive for the game, also was critical of Pederson’s decision to bench Hurts.
