It’s been a long time since the Washington Football Team has been in the position to run up the score against an opponent. After all, in 2019, the team only won three games, and those by an average of 4 points per win (only one win exceeded 3 points). During the WFT’s resounding 27-17 win over the Eagles, however, the team, and Ron Rivera, had the opportunity to pour on more points, but, instead, forcefully applied the brakes.
With 3:15 left in the game, Carson Wentz was sacked by Daron Payne and Chase Young, inducing a fumble that was picked up by Ryan Kerrigan at the Eagle’s 22-yard line.
