LANDOVER, Md. - The hows and whys concerning the struggles of Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford no longer matter.
The point is they cost the Philadelphia Eagles another football game.
If you want to argue that Bradford left the field with the lead in Sunday's 22-20 loss at Washington, you can.
I will counter that Bradford left the field two more times with that lead after he connected with Miles Austin on that 39-yard touchdown pass just 20 seconds into the fourth quarter and did nothing to enhance it.
Those two drives, which totaled just nine plays, consumed just 4 minutes, 23 seconds of clock and resulted in two punts, were a significant factor in why the Eagles are 1-3 and in last place in the NFC East.
