NFL Power Rankings, Week 12: Rams bounce back with win over Bears
By Dan Parzych
20. Philadelphia Eagles (16)
From Nelson Agholor dropping key passes to poor decision making by Carson Wentz, there were plenty of frustrating factors that came into play for the Philadelphia Eagles during their 17-10 Week 11 loss to the New England Patriots.
After hanging on to a 10-9 lead at halftime, the Eagles were playing with all of the confidence in the world, and seemed to be on their way to defeating the Patriots while also keeping things close with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East race.
Unfortunately, the 10 points scored by Philadelphia in the first half would end up being their only points from the contest to make it seem like this team may not have what it takes to make the playoffs after all.
One game certainly doesn’t determine what the outcome will be from the regular season, but also keep in mind that Philadelphia was already at a disadvantage dealing with numerous injuries on both sides of the football.
The Eagles only trail the Cowboys by one game heading into Week 12, but they still must feel frustrated over missing out on a great opportunity to earn a big win over the defending champions to keep things closer in the division.
