Failed 2-point conversions doom Eagles, Washington Football Team

The NFC East doesn’t get many victories. So you grab every chance you can to try and get a “W.”

The Washington Football Team and Riverboat Ron Rivera decided to go for two against the New York Giants to try and pull out a victory when trailing 20-19.

The Philadelphia Eagles had fewer options as they had to go for two late in the fourth quarter after scoring to cut the deficit against the Baltimore Ravens to 30-28.

Predictably, both 2-point conversion plays failed.

The Giants did pick up a victory for the NFC East, downing the Washington Football Team. It was Joe Judge’s first victory as an NFL head coach.

This puts Philly at 1-4-1 and Washington and the Giants at 1-5 each in the miserable division. The Eagles are the only team of the trio with a victory outside the division. Washington beat Philly for its victory and the Giants beat Washington.

The Cowboys have a chance to tack on a win — or a loss — Monday against the Arizona Cardinals.
