The players were still processing how they let a 21-point lead slip away.\n\nJalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, sitting together in their lockers, still in their game uniforms, reflected disappointment. Hurts, with a fixed gaze, and Smith, checking his phone, showed frustration.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We have to find a way to close out the game and be consistent in what we do. We didn&#8217;t play a complete game as a team, and it cost us today.<\/p><cite>Jalen Hurts<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nPhiladelphia started the game strong, scoring on their first three possessions. Despite reports of internal tensions surrounding the Hurts-led offense, the quarterback responded with two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown, establishing a 21-0 lead.\n\nThe defense also delivered, including an interception of Dak Prescott by Reed Blankenship in the end zone. According to the statistics, the Eagles had a 96% chance of winning after that play.\n\nHowever, the offense sputtered. Five possessions ended in punts, one in a missed 56-yard field goal, and another in a Saquon Barkley fumble midway through the fourth quarter. Xavier Gipson also made a mistake on a kick return.\n\nThe penalties were a crucial factor, with 14 infractions for the Eagles, matching their highest number under coach Nick Sirianni.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>When there are as many mistakes as we had, I always take responsibility as the head coach.<\/p><cite>Nick Sirianni<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe offense has struggled to find its rhythm this season, sometimes depending on the defense. On Sunday, the defensive unit suffered injuries in the secondary, which affected Philadelphia&#8217;s ability to contain Dallas&#8217;s attack.\n\nBarkley finished with 22 rushing yards on 10 carries and seven receptions for 52 yards. The 22 rushing yards were his fewest since joining the Eagles.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I am disappointed in myself, not frustrated with anyone else. I have to improve and make plays.<\/p><cite>Saquon Barkley<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nSirianni anticipates a &#8220;shitty plane ride&#8221; back home, but the team must focus quickly, as they have a short period before facing the Chicago Bears. The Eagles, with an 8-3 record, still lead the NFC East, but they need to prevent this loss from turning into a streak.\n\nIt hurts when they come back, but we will respond well. This will make us hungrier.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; locker room was silent on Sunday after the 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
