The offense couldn’t hear calls at the line of scrimmage, so the Eagles e Nick Sirianni, the coach, quarreled with players. Hurts engaged in the type of intimate discussions at his locker with teammates that are often not visible in public unless Philadelphia is defeated.ven told their own supporters to quiet down. Despite catching six catches for 80 yards, A.J. Brown showed signs of frustration during the game and declined to talk to reporters afterward.
It’s said that winning cures all diseases, but not in Philadelphia, it appears.
Even so, the Eagles are in a position to win the division for a second straight season as early as Sunday if they defeat Arizona (3-12) and Dallas loses to or ties Detroit on Saturday. This is despite all of the anonymous sniping, poor body language, and occasionally even worse play over a three-game losing streak. If not, the Eagles can still win the division by defeating the New York Giants, who they beat on Monday to snap their losing streak, before the Cardinals.
Hurts said that’s all that mattered.
“I enjoy winning,” Hurts remarked. “Everybody likes that.”

It’s supposed that victory heals all wounds, but apparently not in Philadelphia.
Nevertheless, if the Eagles beat Arizona (3-12) and Dallas loses to or ties Detroit on Saturday, they may win the division for the second consecutive year as early as this Sunday. This is during a three-game losing run, in spite of all of the anonymous sniping, bad body language, and sometimes even worse play. Should that prove untrue, the Eagles may still win the division by defeating the Cardinals before the New York Giants, whom they defeated on Monday to end their losing run.
That’s all that matters, Hurts said.
“I like to win,” Hurts said. “Everybody likes that.”
The Eagles are still competing to be the best team in the NFC.
