“We didn’t see a face mask on the field,” official Alex Kemp told pool reporters after the game. “As far as the review, we were reviewing whether he was down by contact or whether it was a fumble and then whether the Washington player who recovered the ball was also down by contact.”
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni wouldn’t speak definitively about what he thought about the call but emphasized the Eagles’ lack of ball security.

“Whether it was a face mask or whether it wasn’t a face mask, it’s hard for them to see at that time. I get it. We have to protect the ball better, and we didn’t do a good job of that all game. We were loose with the football, and it came out and they got it.”
