Note that Jeffery is not yet out of bounds with a second on the clock. Note how the clock just stops at one second, well before the whistle sounds. If this were the NBA, I grant that, maybe, .2 might be left on the clock, but this isn't the NBA. "In fact, league rules state that clock operators must look for the on-field official’s signals as their cue to stop the clock. The exact moment when the ball hits the ground (on an incomplete pass) or a player’s foot touches out of bounds is essentially irrelevant to the clock operator — he must be focused entirely on the official." nytimes.com

[Note: This has nothing to do with the Eagles being dirty; the clock operator is an employee of the NFL. He just did not do his job correctly IMO]
