It wasn't pretty but Philadelphia escaped with a 22-26 win over Carolina.
PHILADELPHIA - There was a palpable frustration over a struggling passing game afterward with Nick Sirianni proclaiming to his team "do not be a prisoner of expectations."
Had the rookie receiver hauled in a deep ball from Bryce Young the Eagles would have likely been staring down the barrel of a 23-22 deficit with 44 seconds to get the struggling Jake Elliott into field goal position. When the play Kellen Moore has called is run-- if it's not a carry by Barkley -- the offense remains clunky more often than not. Winning behind a strong running game and good defense has masked that issue.Someone bet the Eagles on the money line and used $3.1 million to try to pick up an extra $450,000. If it weren't for the egregious drop by Legette Mr. Money Bags would have handed out fewer gifts this holiday season.
