The Philadelphia Eagles might be leading the NFC East, but this season has been far from joy for the fan base. The team has struggled recently, dropping two straight games, with the latest loss being a home defeat to the Chicago Bears.
That loss now gives the Bears a key tiebreaker over the Eagles for playoff seeding, and if the season ended today, the Bears would have the number one seed while Philly would be the three-seed. This is not what fans envisioned after winning the Super Bowl earlier this year.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Eagles are escaping this nightmare anytime soon, and it's given former Patriots defensive back and current NFL analyst Devin McCourty cause for concern.
