💥 BREAKING NEWS: Eagles’ shocking collapse against the Cowboys exposes a team unable to close when it matters most.QQ
The Eagles just made way too many mistakes.
The Philadelphia Eagles will definitely be angry at themselves, and potentially others in the building, after their Week 12 loss at the hands of the rival Dallas Cowboys.
In a game where the team donning green felt comfortable early, the wheels came off when it mattered most, and Dak Prescott got to look Philly straight in the face and chuckle when it was all said and done.

The description of this loss can truly be summed up in one word. Collapse. The Eagles were dominant for basically the entire first half. The offense was humming, and the defense had the explosive Dallas offense searching for answers. Then, the second half occurred.

Philadelphia refused to push the ball downfield through the air, and the impact of their wide receivers wasn’t nearly the same compared to the first half. Now, add in timely turnovers on offense and special teams. That’s the perfect recipe for blowing a huge lead, and that is exactly what the Eagles did in a massive game for the playoff picture.
Looking ahead, the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams (with the Seattle Seahawks lurking) are in contention to steal Philly’s top overall seed in the NFC. This was an inexcusable loss, but Nick Sirianni’s team found a way to do it.
According to Tucker Bagley of Sharp Football Analysis, the Eagles had not blown a 21-point lead since Andy Reid’s first game as head coach for Philly. That was Week 1 of the 1999 season against Arizona. That is an unfathomable statistic that shows the Eagles beat themselves in more ways than one.
