Yes, the Eagles lost. But Sunday proved this is an excellent team that's been assembled here.
LeSean McCoy and the Eagles' running game never found a way to get going Sunday.
The Eagles' defense came up with big plays, but it can do even better.
A penalty called on in the third quarter proved costly in the end.
It almost seemed inevitable, but the Eagles' fourth quarter magic finally ran out Sunday.
