The worst series of the game for Pederson is when the Eagles had the ball at the Dallas 32-yard line with 8:06 remaining in the game. The Eagles had a fresh set of downs and they had Josh Huff throw the ball on first down. It didn’t work. Kenjon Barner then ran for a two-yard gain to put the Eagles at the 30-yard line. Then for some unthinkable reason the Eagles ran a play where Darren Sproles was designed to receive the ball on a horizontal pass. Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee sniffed it out and the Eagles lost six yards. Instead of attempting a 53-yard field goal, Pederson opted to punt, despite the fact Caleb Sturgis drilled a 55-yard kick earlier in the evening. Instead of going up two possessions, the Eagles only had a one score lead. And so the Cowboys got the ball back and marched down the field to tie the game.
