2 Point Conversion
Sunday’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals showed the risk and reward of the 2-point conversion. In a big game, with going to the Super Bowl at stake, both teams pulled out all the stops and went beyond football basics.
Both attempts occurred in the 4th Quarter. After scoring a touchdown and taking a 1-point lead, Philadelphia went for the 2-point conversion and a 3-point lead. They didn’t convert, and Arizona took the ball back with 10:45 left to play, down 25-24.
Running the ball, taking time off the clock, they scored a touchdown, went for the 2-point conversion, and got it on a pass to Ben Patrick. Leading by 7, Arizona gave the ball back to Philadelphia with 2:53 remaining and a score of 25-32.
Philadelphia needed to score a touchdown to tie, or get the 2-point conversion to win. They did neither, and Arizona is going to the Super Bowl.
