Emmitt Smith Rips Eagles for Quitting Vs. Washington, Using Carson Wentz as 'Trade Bait'

The Philadelphia Eagles drew criticism from around the league for their performance on Sunday Night Football against the Washington Football Team.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Smith said that the NFC East performance "was subpar at best—straight across the board." He "didn't totally agree" with how the Philadelphia-based team handled the game.

"It's as if you're taking on the mentality of NBA basketball," the Pro Football Hall of Famer said.
