“Philadelphia Legend Claims Cowboys Have Broken the Eagles”
The Philadelphia Eagles faced a decisive defeat by the Dallas Cowboys in a nationally-watched Sunday night game, as the Cowboys reclaimed the top spot in the NFC East. This marked the Eagles’ second consecutive loss after being considered nearly invincible.
Upon reflection, questions arise about the Eagles’ supposed invincibility. Despite starting the season 10-1, they secured wins in games where they were outplayed. Notably, their overtime victory against the Commanders showcased their ability to snatch victory from potential defeats, and their first meeting with the Cowboys was a close call.
Furthermore, the Eagles narrowly won against the Bills and Chiefs, with a combined margin of seven points, and were on the brink of losing both games. In the Chiefs game, a potential game-winning touchdown was dropped by Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and against the Bills, miscommunication between Josh Allen and Gabe Davis in overtime cost them a possible walk-off touchdown.
While the Eagles deserve credit for winning in challenging situations, it appears their luck is now returning to the average. Even acknowledging that Philadelphia is still a strong team, the demoralizing nature of the recent loss led Eagles legend Seth Joyner to brand the team as “frauds” on JAKIB Sports’ postgame show.
“The truth is it’s a bad football team. They fooled us. They fooled us through 11 games into believing that they’re really good and they’re just not.”
