AT LEAST Eagles coach Doug Pederson doesn't have to deal with lingering, awkward questions about his players failing to show up for Sunday's game against Washington.
Despite the 27-22 loss, it would be hard to criticize the Eagles for quitting despite their playoff chances being dimmer than they were when the "Q" word was floated after last week's loss at Cincinnati.
The Birds battled to the finish, all the way to the moment when Washington linebacker Ryan Kerrigan blindsided quarterback Carson Wentz and forced the game-sealing fumble in the final half minute.
Nope, there was no lack of effort.
