Not a football guy. Leaker said 3 point spread, 37-34. 38-35 is functionally the same. Why didn't that #1 guy walk it in when he had it made? Would it have screwed up the spread?

Still don't get it. If he scored, they'd been up by 6 or 7 with very little time on the clock. Bird in the hand. Counting on making a field goal is bird in the bush. Even if the Eagles did the near impossible, it couldn't have been more than a tie when the Chief's regained possession.
