“I had no idea,” said after being asked about the game plan at quarterback against the Cowboys. “They just said, ‘Nick, be ready to play the whole game and Nate be ready in case we want to put you in.’”
As it turns out, Sudfeld, the Eagles' backup quarterback, played the final three quarters Sunday afternoon. He showed flashes on his opening drive completing his first NFL pass to Nelson Agholor for 4 yards. He later completed a 17-yard pass on third down that was negated by an offensive holding penalty which would later force the Eagles to punt.
