    Philadelphia Eagles lose against the New Orleans Saints because of Play-calling!

    Week 17 and the Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to officially lock up the #1 seed! They had a tough loss versus the New Orleans Saints at Lincoln Financial Field. Without Jalen Hurts, Gardner Minshew and this Eagles offense struggled to put points on the board and it cost them an opportunity for the first round bye. Whose to blame for this loss? How does this loss affect the playoff picture going forward in the NFC? What  does this mean for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles next week against the New York Giants?
