A few defensive players did not like the play call on the Baltimore Ravens' touchdown at the end of the first half Sunday in the Eagles' 27-26 loss. Two days later, Jim Schwartz explained what the Eagles were thinking and what broke down.
"At halftime, I told those guys . . . 'Hey, blame me for that call,' " Schwartz said, "And the reason I said it was because I didn't want them to play conservative in the second half. Looking back, there are a lot of calls you would like to have back in the game. The call wasn't the issue there, it's the execution.
