""We did that in what we thought was the best interest," Sirianni said. "To go up one more point in my mind is not running up the score.""
""I guess they were upset [we went for two], but I don't give a f---, it's football. You can't control what the next person does.""
""The conversion gave Philadelphia a 29-10 lead with 4 minutes, 26 seconds remaining.""
Philadelphia attempted a two-point conversion late to increase its lead to 19 points and reduce the chance of a tie scenario. The decision was described by the coach as math-based and intended to be in the team's best interest rather than running up the score. After the play, an on-field fight broke out, resulting in the ejection of Eagles lineman Tyler Steen and Washington defenders Javon Kinlaw and Quan Martin. The Eagles won 29-18 and clinched the NFC East. Washington players appeared more upset about the post-play altercation than the decision to go for two.
