Instant analysis: Eagles looked devoid of character in loss to Cowboys

Abysmal. There’s no other word for it. For the second week in a row, the Philadelphia Eagles were utterly embarrassed. The only difference is, this loss came against a Dallas team that was more than beatable. What went wrong? It’s easier to answer what didn’t, but here are some quick takeaways.

It was doomed from the get-go

The Eagles broke a 25-game streak of deffering when winning the coin toss in a bid to start fast. The offense ranked 31st in first-quarter points coming into this matchup and it had to change if they had a chance of winning.
