Eagles WR Jeffery takes blame for loss to Saints

NEW ORLEANS -- Receiver Alshon Jeffery took responsibility for the Philadelphia Eagles' divisional-round loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday following a dropped pass late in the game that led to a critical interception.

"That's on me. I'll take that loss. It's on me," he said. "I let my teammates down, the city of Philadelphia, that's on me. I'll take that."

The Eagles had new life after a missed field goal by Saints kicker Wil Lutz and got the ball back with just less than three minutes remaining and trailing by six.
