The Eagles are now officially a mess.
The defending NFC champs dropped their third consecutive game Monday night, losing to the Seahawks in the final minutes, 20-17, in a game they should have won.
Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts had a rough night, throwing for just 143 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, including one in the final seconds that sealed the win for Seattle.
The quarterback had an interesting message for his team after the loss, saying the Eagles weren’t “committed enough.” When asked was he meant about that, Hurts said he didn’t “have a dictionary on me now.”
Here’s that exchange:

Fans were not impressed:
Saying you don’t feel your TEAM is committed enough after you threw two interceptions and one to seal the game for the other team is an AWFUL look lol. Just bad leadership https://t.co/plMELIzYPo
