The Super Bowl-champion Eagles are 3-4 this season because, in part, they aren't practicing like Super Bowl champions. So said the head coach and two veteran players.

Doug Pederson on Monday implied that the Eagles are entering games after shoddy preparation sessions, that they had seldom been able to "win the week." That implication was overshadowed by Pederson's prickly, defensive behavior after his team, on Sunday, choked away a second fourth-quarter lead in four games. Given the nature of Pederson's bombshell, it warranted corroboration.

That corroboration came Tuesday, from Jason Kelce and Stefan Wisniewski. On the record.
