Eagles May Keep Going For Two With Jake Elliott In Concussion Protocol

Nov 21, 2017 9:35 AM

With Jake Elliott in the NFL's concussion protocol, the Philadelphia Eagles may continue going for two instead of relying on a kicker for extra point attempts.

Doug Pederson doesn't know if Elliott will be cleared by an independent neurologist by the weekend.

"I think moving forward, as we continue to evaluate this week, we'll find out more in the next couple days with Jake, and I don't want to put myself in a box, but we'll keep all the options open," Pederson said.

"It kind of goes back to the same old thing. We still have a couple days here today and tomorrow to evaluate Jake and see where everybody's at. There's still a little while before we play Sunday."

The Eagles were successful on three of four attempts while going for a two against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

"You always go into a game with a few (plays) in your pocket. You never expect that situation again like we had last night. But, yeah, you look at the numbers. If you're around 94, 95 percent on the extra point from the 15-yard line, your conversion rate should be in that 47, 48, 49 percent on a two-point conversion. So we look at all of that," he said.

"We keep a couple extra plus-five red zone plays in our pocket for that situation. It just worked out, I think 3-for-4 last night. It's something we'll look at going forward."

Dak Prescott: Cowboys 'Have To Win' Against Eagles

Nov 15, 2017 9:37 AM

Dak Prescott is placing a lot of importance on Sunday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas Cowboys sit at 5-4, three games behind the Eagles in the NFC East.

"I definitely checked out the Eagles," Prescott said. "(We) know what we're getting into, and they know what they're getting into. So, it is a big game. It's a huge game. And most importantly it's a big game because it's the next one that we play. Second to that, it's the Eagles. It's a rivalry, and they are leading our division right now. ... If we want to make a run at winning this division, giving ourselves a chance to play late into the season, it's a game that we have to win."

The Eagles have won seven straight games and own the best record in the NFL.
