The last game that the Philadelphia Eagles played (seemingly) to a truly competitive degree was one where they took a drubbing from the Dallas Cowboys. America’s Team put up 37 points against the bad guys in the penultimate week of the regular season (the second year in a row in which Dallas dropped exactly 37 points against the Eagles in their home building) and the week after saw Philly all but openly say that they were tanking in a game against the Washington Football Team.
Shortly after the Eagles fired the head coach, Doug Pederson, that helped lead them to a Super Bowl just three years ago, they began work at finding a new person to lead their dysfunctional franchise.
