The Eagles lost a game they weren’t trying to win on Saturday night, falling to the Cowboys at home and finishing the 2021-22 regular season with a 9-8 record. Nick Sirianni chose to put his backups on the field against the division rivals, so the outcome wasn’t really important, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what we watched.
Here are three spicy overreactions to a weird game before we start looking ahead to the postseason:
1. The Eagles’ offense is bigger than one running back
I’ve been pretty vocal in my belief that the Eagles should not bring back Miles Sanders after his rookie contract expires, and we’ve had plenty of evidence this season that they can make any running back with even mild talent look good in Nick Sirianni’s modified offensive system – you know, the one he’s been running since he remembered running the ball is good.
And Saturday night was yet…
