The Eagles’ Offensive Woes Continue and the Defense Suffers in Horrible Loss

The Philadelphia Eagles went into Dallas Sunday coming off disappointing offensive performances in games that ultimately ended in wins. The crucial victories were huge both for momentum and NFC standings against the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers on prime-time national television.

Despite the important victories, concerns about the offensive playcalling and performance — coupled with locker room drama surrounding AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts — underscored just how important this game would be. A confident win would potentially quiet local and national detractors who have criticized the Eagles’ offensive game and potentially smooth over internal conflicts as the Eagles transition into the easier part of their schedule. More importantly, a win would have put the Eagles in control of the NFC East, bringing them much closer to becoming the first repeat division champions in over 20 years.
