The Philadelphia Eagles got a lot of help on Thanksgiving when the Buffalo Bills went to Dallas and dropped the Cowboys to 6-6 with a big win in the House that Jerry Built.
Then the Eagles went out on Sunday and made that help irrelevant as they threw away what looked like an easy when in Miami. Philly gave up a 28-14 lead before losing to the Dolphins, 37-31. It’s yet another painful loss for a team that has fallen apart in recent weeks.
A win would have drawn the Eagles even with the Cowboys atop the NFC East, now they’re 5-7 and remain in second place in a division that has quickly become a dumpster fire.
Philadelphia gave up one of the most creative touchdowns in Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins but the Eagles also allowed 37-year-old QB Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw for 365 yards and three touchdowns, which is totally unacceptable.
The Eagles, however, are still very much in the “race” for the NFC East title, especially since they host the Cowboys in Week 16, which very well could decide things.
Philadelphia has now lost three games in a row, all while Jason Garrett and the Cowboys have been imploding in their own right, losing two straight games.
It’s as if nobody wants to win the darned NFC East.
Twitter rightfully ripped the Eagles and their division:
