Philadelphia Eagles WRs Have 'Frustrations Everywhere' After Loss to Seattle Seahawks
The Philadelphia Eagles took a 20-17 loss on the road to the Seattle Seahawks, their third-straight loss moving them to 10-4 on the season.
It was a frustrating loss, as Seattle was without starting quarterback Geno Smith while Drew Lock took his place. Many of the Eagles players including wide receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown expressed their disappointment afterwards, displaying some confused frustration amid a late-season slump.
"I don’t even know what to tell you, honestly," Smith said via The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I don’t even know. The frustrations are everywhere. It’s everything."
Smith finished the game with five receptions for 50 yards while Brown was Philadelphia's leading receiver with five receptions and 56 yards.
The three losses also coincided with three straight games where the Eagles failed to score at least 20 points in a game. It marked just the second time under Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts that they lost three straight games, with the first time occurring in the duo's first month together.
Brown received 10 targets, including the final throw of the game from Hurts that resulted in an interception.
"I’m disappointed, but I’m not discouraged," Brown said via the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I personally know who I am, what type of football player, how special I am. I’ve just got to focus on my job and being ready to play, trying to get our guys in the room ready to play. Everything else, it’s all out of our control. We run routes. We catch the ball. We try to make plays. Other than that, we can’t control none of that stuff. As much as we don’t like it, there’s nothing we can do about it, bro.”
Matt Patricia Can't Rescue Eagles Defense in Third Straight Loss
Philadelphia still has a chance to win the NFC East if it takes care of business in the final three weeks of the season. The Eagles will attempt to end their losing streak at home against the New York Giants on Christmas Day at 4:30 p.m.
