Murphy: Eagles' glaring shortcoming remains cornerback

WHILE THE Packers spent the first quarter marching down the field against the Eagles defense, Jalen Mills spent it on the sideline. He wore his helmet, and he occasionally bent from side to side and back to front in an attempt to stay loose, but by the time he entered the game for his first shift, the Eagles were trailing, 14-7.

This was an interesting development, given that it was occurring in Week 12 of a season that is increasingly looking as if its legacy will rest somewhere in the future instead of the here and now (read: the postseason).
