Eagles PFF grades: Best and worst performers from 35-31 loss to Cardinals

Cardinals Eagles PFF Philadelphia Eagles The Arizona Cardinals Philadelphia USA TODAY Sports Eric Hartline Pennsylvania Arizona Cardinals

The Eagles no longer control their destiny for the No. 2 overall seed and NFC East after a 35-31 loss to the Cardinals at home.

In Jonathan Gannon’s return to Philadelphia, Arizona rushed for 221 yards, with James Conner logging 26 carries for 128 yards and one touchdown.

The Cardinals’ win put the Cowboys in the No. 2 seed entering Week 18, and a victory over Washington would give Dallas the NFC East.

With fans and pundits outraged by the loss, we’re looking at the highest and lowest-graded players via PFF.
