With the game coming towards an end, Brian Westbrook had a nice 20 yard run that he could have run in easily for the touchdown. Instead, he took a knee at the one yard line so that the Eagles could run the clock out with two minutes remaining and a 10-6 lead. The TD would have given the Eagles a 17-6 lead.
Westbrooks play not so brilliant, but not dumb either The press and many are saying Westbrook’s play of falling down at the 1-yard line rather than scoring a TD was brilliant. This move allowed Philly to run out the clock by taking 3 kneel downs instead of risking the Cowboys coming back to score twice in limited time. Was it really brilliant or just different?
