The National Football League won’t penalize the Philadelphia Eagles for its quarterback decisions in the final regular-season game against Washington, AP reported Wednesday. 

Since-fired Eagles head coach Doug Pederson removed Jalen Hurts for third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld in the fourth quarter of a 20-14 loss.

The Eagles were behind by a field goal when Sudfeld came in and was picked off on his second attempt and also lost a fumble.

Washington won the NFC East with the win and the New York Giants were eliminated. Angry Giants players believed the Eagles tanked, since the loss gave them the sixth pick in the draft instead of the ninth. But after investigating, the NFL couldn’t determine if the Eagles did or not.
