More than three quarters of the way through a comforting bedtime story that would put to rest the bad dreams that have partially haunted the start of the season for the Eagles, someone flipped the pages Sunday afternoon and wrote a nightmare of an ending.
Despite holding a 17-0 lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the Eagles lost 21-17 to the Carolina Panthers and head into a long road trip to London next week with a 3-4 record and more questions than they have faced this year.
This was supposed to be a happy homecoming for the Eagles after getting back on track in their previous game on the road against the Giants.
