Attention to detail. Self-inflicting wounds. Penalties. Those were the common words uttered by the Eagles when breaking down the team’s performance after their stunning 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
It was in fact a stunning loss, although the team was playing with fire through the first month of the season getting bailed out by strong defense, incredible special teams efforts and near flawless red zone play.
The Eagles led for the majority of the game before letting a 17-3 second half lead slip away while being outscored 18-0 by Denver in the fourth quarter.
