It sure looked like Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson chose to tank Sunday's game against Washington when he pulled QB Jalen Hurts in the 4th quarter. The move ticked off everyone, from fans and people in the league, to even his own players. Some of whom tried to confront him about the decision on the sideline...
The move really upset Giants head coach Joe Judge...

Remember, Pederson pulled his rookie QB in the 4th quarter in Sunday night's matchup with the Washington Football Team ... despite only trailing by 3 points.
Hurts was replaced by Nate Sudfeld -- and according to the Inquirer, "many" Eagles players and coaches were "shocked and outraged."
the report says, "Two defensive players had to be held back from approaching Pederson."
The report does not name those players -- but notes that two other players, including center Jason Kelce and another starter, "went to the coach to ask him why he had pulled the starting quarterback with the Eagles trailing by only 3."
