Lawlor: A Rough Day For The Eagles

This was a division game and the Eagles had a chance to show how they would respond to the loss to the Lions. Obviously this is not the answer anyone was looking for. Losing is one thing, but getting outplayed is very disappointing.

A lot of the focus will be on the Eagles' offensive line. Halapoulivaati Vaitai started at right tackle in place of the suspended Lane Johnson. This was Vaitai's first NFL game and it showed. The rookie struggled with edge rusher Ryan Kerrigan, who is talented enough to give anyone fits. Dealing with a rookie starter on the line is tough by itself, but the issue was compounded as the overall line played its poorest game of the year.
