""We've gotta find a way to finish the game and we've got to find some consistency in what we do," Hurts said once he came to the podium. "Definitely the tale of two halves. In the end we didn't play a complete game as a team and today it got us. "We've got to own this one, let it light a fire in us as a team and stay together and move forward.""
"Philadelphia scored on its first three possessions. Amid reports about internal frustration directed at how Hurts was operating the offense, the reigning Super Bowl MVP came out red-hot, scoring twice on the ground and once through the air to stake his team to a 21-0 lead. The defense was doing its part as well, complete with an interception of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott by safety Reed Blankenship in the end zone with 5:07 left in the second quarter to preserve the shutout."
"But their offense went cold. Five possessions ended on punts, one on a 56-yard missed field goal by Jake Elliott and another on a Saquon Barkley fumble midway through the fourth quarter. Xavier Gipson had a giveaway on a punt return moments later."
The Philadelphia Eagles lost 24-21 to the Dallas Cowboys after surrendering a 21-point lead. The locker room was quiet, with Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith subdued after the game. Hurts emphasized the need to finish games and find consistency, calling it a tale of two halves and urging the team to own the loss and move forward. Philadelphia scored on its first three possessions as Hurts scored twice on the ground and once through the air to build a 21-0 lead. Reed Blankenship intercepted Dak Prescott in the end zone and the Eagles had a 96% win probability, but the offense went cold with multiple punts, a 56-yard missed field goal, a Saquon Barkley fumble, a punt-return giveaway, and 14 penalties that tied a team high under coach Nick Sirianni.
