At halftime of the Eagles-Redskins game last Sunday, Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz met in the FedEx Field visitors locker room and went over possible plays for after the break.
“It was, ‘Hey, here are a couple of the ones I really like,’” Wentz recalled.
Pederson had two play-action passes that he favored, but he wrote a star next to one on his call sheet. Coach and quarterback were simpatico.
“We were both thinking the exact same [thing] … and he looked at it and he liked the one,” Pederson said.
Faced with a second-and-10 late in the fourth quarter with the Eagles up two points and near midfield, Pederson looked at the play-action portion of his sheet and called the play next to the star.
