The Giants aren’t the only ones baffled by Doug Pederson’s puzzling decisions on Sunday night.

Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes said the Eagles’ apparent tanking confused him because he would have played the season out “no matter what.”

“You never know what’s going on inside the team or the organization,” Mahomes told KCSP 610 Sports Radio on Monday, “But, I mean, just watching how he played the last few weeks, it did kinda confuse me at the time.

“For me, I would have wanted to play and finish out the season, no matter what our record was. But, whatever the coach thought was best for the team, he did, and you have to back that as a guy on the team.”

The 25-year-old Mahomes is referencing Pederson’s controversial call to pull quarterback Jalen Hurts during the second half of the Philadelphia-Washington game in favor of third-string QB Nate Sudfeld. Hurts had completed just seven of 20 attempts for 72 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception. Sudfeld — a career backup — completed five of 12 attempts for 32 yards and one interception, and the Eagles were defeated 20-14.

Pederson maintains he wasn’t waving the white flag and that his “plan” was to get Sudfeld in the game, much to Hurts’ (and Eagles other players’) dismay.

“It’s not right,” Hurts appeared to say on camera after the switch.

The decision drew ire as it was viewed as intentional tanking and was highly consequential in a tight NFC East race. Had the Eagles defeated the Football Team, the Giants, Cowboys and Washington would all have been tied at 6-10, and the Giants would have won the division as they held the tiebreaker.

Pederson, 52, served under the Chiefs’ head coach in Philadelphia as Andy Reid’s quarterbacks coach and in Kansas City as offensive coordinator.
