I think Westbrook's move was tied directly to what happened at FedEx. He said after that game that, had he known the Redskins were going to let him score in order to get the ball back down 8 points, he would have fallen on the one. I think that experience was on his mind when he saw a wide-open ten yards in front of him. In this situation, I don't really think it was necessary. If he scored, the Eagles would have been up two scores with 2 minutes to play and no times outs. But, hey, they won, so I guess you can't argue with the strategy.
