A lot of self-inflicted wounds, including costly fumbles, bad penalties and continued ineffectiveness on third down and in the red zone led to the Eagles' 23-21 loss to the Vikings Sunday.

How did the offense, defense and special teams perform? Paul Domowitch offers his grades, and then you can award your own.

The Eagles averaged 4.8 yards per carry, yet ran the ball only six times in the first half and a season-low 17 times overall. Jay Ajayi cost his team a potential touchdown on the Eagles' first possession of the second half when he fumbled at the Minnesota 5-yard line.
