The Philadelphia Eagles blew a 21-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Philadelphia Eagles took a 21-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and the offense, including A.J. Brown, was clicking on all cylinders.
It appeared the Eagles were well on their way to improving to 9-2.
However, the big collapse took place, as the Cowboys not only scored 21 points to tie the game, but they also won the game at the end of regulation on a game-winning field goal.
After the game, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts spoke to the media and said he's confident the team will respond on black Friday against the Chicago Bears.
"I think overarching, we've got to find a way to finish the game and find some consistency in what we do," Hurts said. "It was definitely a tale of two halves. But in the end, we didn't play a good game as a team. Today, it got us. Give a lot of respect to Dallas and their team, how they competed. Something we question right now is how we respond to it and I have a lot of confidence in how we'll respond.
"Eliminate the things that don't matter and focus on the things we can control and go out there and play together and move forward. It's just a matter of staying consistent. Being resilient. Having endurance and just pushing forward. Today wasn't our day. And, I look at myself in the mirror and I say, 'I have to do more. I have to dig, and muster things out, and try to figure it out. For all of us.' But, you know, that is the type of character that you like everyone to have. We just have to have the right type of synergy. The right type of energy. And come together and push forward like I know we are capable of. We'll be just fine."
Hurts threw for 289 yards and scored three total touchdowns against the Cowboys. That should have been enough to get the win.
However, the Eagles were held scoreless in the second half.
"Obviously, at the end of the day, we didn't coach well enough," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. "We didn't play well enough. And when there's the amount of mistakes that we had, some of the self-inflicted wounds that we had today, I'm always going to put that on me as a head coach, because, you know, it's something that we talk about an awful lot. And I've got to make sure my message is getting through."
