PHILADELPHIA — In the closing seconds of the fourth quarter Monday night, precious seconds ran off the clock and it appeared as if Eagles coach Doug Pederson got the better of Pat Shurmur as the Giants lost 23-17 in overtime at Lincoln Financial Field.
Carson Wentz with 49 seconds left in regulation passed 9 yards to Joshua Perkins and on fourth down as the Giants put their punt return team on the field, Pederson made it seem as if the Eagles might go for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 45-yard line. Shurmur allowed about 20 seconds to run off the clock before calling a timeout to make sure the Giants would not be caught without their defense on the field.
