The Philadelphia Eagles are in first place in the NFC East but barely hanging on in the division and playing some of the most uninspired, mistake-filled football in the NFL. The Eagles’ 27-17 loss to the New York Giants saw 11 penalties committed and inefficient play on offense with the Birds unable to convert on third down once during the defeat.
On Wednesday, an Angry Brandon Graham talked about addressing the “elephant in the room”, which starts with playing smarter.

The statement by Graham comes on the heels of quarterback Carson Went disputing claims of “sloppy practices” and no accountability among the players.
