Looking at the play-by-play there was 1:50s left on the clock when Swift scored. If he had slide down inside the 5, it would have been a first down with no Commanders’ timeouts, and the Eagles could have drained the remaining clock with three kneel-downs and ended the game (40s+40s+40s). Am I missing something?
I can imagine Sirianni telling him to go get that TD and let the team back him up.
