The Eagles Rivera'd themselves. They went away from what was working in an effort to "protect" their lead. Wentz was having a near perfect day and had all day to throw. They started running the ball more. They were killing is with pressure, they started rushing four and dropping into coverage. We won, but the Eagles going conservative gave us that opportunity.

How many times does that happen in the NFL though. On the flip side you get things like the Falcons in the SB where passing bit them. 

Fact is we adjusted at the right time.

The Eagles ran the ball once in the entire fourth qtr.  We just did a better job of defending the pass.

Hard to go with our LBs being trash in coverage today trying to cover Ertz when the dude is averaging like 8 catches for 88 yards a game this season and has been the best pass catching TE in football this year by far. 

Something to note though:

In wins Ertz averages about 5 catches for 55 yards.

In losses he is averaging 10 catches for 114 yards.

They only ran the ball once in the 4th quarter. It was actually baffling to me that they did not run the ball more.
