Why didn’t the eagles go for 2 on last TD

Question

I&#x2019;m sure this had to have been discussed here but I can&#x2019;t find it could have put them up 14 instead of 13 even if they failed it would have still been a 2 score game

I cannot remember since the 2 point rule came into effect that in this situation up by 12 late in the game or 5 points also they did not go for 2.....other than after the music city miracle when TENN scored that TD but there was only a few seconds left in that game but even then Fisher made a mistake not going for 2 but as i recall the line was TENN -5.5 in that game so the Tenn backers were happy they kicked the convert up by 5 &#x2B; the Bills backers were even more appalled by that decision. Back to last night considering Philly was running at will almost in that game &#x2B; any running play would have netted 2 yards there vs a demoralized viking D. i am even more surprised. I am happy they did not though as i had Minn &#x2B;6.5 even though i posted my pick as &#x2B; 6 as i will always post the consensus aggregate sportsbooks line at the time of posting. Although i will say this a lot of teams in the last few years who are behind by 14 points &#x2B; score a TD in the last 4 min. or less seem to be going for 2 themselves to cut the lead to 6 points i think to mainly put additional pressure on team still leading by now 6 instead of 7 so that might have happened even if Philly ran in that 2 pointer which they should have tried.
