The bad news for Eagles fans is: They have to watch this for seven more weeks. Mostly against the same brand of dreck that beat them Sunday night.
It ended, effectively, as a poorly-coached, poorly-played game should have ended. With 1 minute, 17 seconds to play, Carson Wentz hit Zach Ertz for a 6-yard gain … on fourth-and-7.
Brilliant.
The Eagles lost, 27-20, to the Cowboys. They took Jason Garrett off the hot seat. They made owner Jerry Jones — the huckster who, it seems, hasn't won anything since Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys were in the Hot 100 — smile his hollow smile.
