Key observations from the Eagles 21-17 loss to the Broncos

The Eagles have been flirting with danger all season, and on Sunday, it finally caught up to them. For weeks, they’ve been the team that could dominate for a half, then hold on, or vice versa. Against Denver, that script collapsed. A 17–3 third-quarter lead evaporated as the Broncos made the key plays late, and the Eagles couldn’t finish drives. Philadelphia sits at 4–1, still near the top of the NFC, but this loss exposed lingering cracks: discipline, health, and the inability to play a complete game.
