Eagles pass game not on 'same page' in 1st loss

""We made improvements in certain areas. We still could be a lot better. Shot ourselves in the foot a lot," Smith said."

""There's times where we're looking at him and he may give a signal before or after we look and ultimately we have to be on the same page," he said, "we have to see that signal no matter what. "It was just little things within the routes. He may have seen something presnap and sometimes we didn't see it.""

""It's not that I didn't think the ball was coming," Brown said. "When I looked up, I didn't see the ball. I looked back, I didn't see the ball, and then the ball was thrown. We just missed.""

DeVonta Smith identified communication lapses in the Eagles' passing game during a 21-17 loss to the Broncos, citing missed pre-snap signals and route execution errors. Jalen Hurts completed 23 of 38 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns, giving the team its best passing day statistically. The offense punted on four consecutive second-half possessions as Denver rallied from a 17-3 deficit. A.J. Brown slowed on a seam route late in the third quarter, causing a pass to land beyond his reach and eliminating a near-certain touchdown opportunity. Small timing and visual breakdowns undermined several potential scoring plays.
