The Philadelphia defense was verbally chewed out

the Philadelphia defense was verbally chewed out Washington beat Philadelphia, 17-12, in the first meeting of the season. A big reason for that was the Redskins’ ability to run the ball with great success on the Eagles. They ran for 169 yards and averaged over 5.0 yards per carry.

Following that performance, the Philadelphia defense was verbally chewed out by head coach Andy Reid and defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, and the players are looking forward to atoning for their effort in that game.

”Let’s just say this, man. When we got to that team meeting, it definitely wasn’t a happy moment. You can put it like that,” linebacker Ernie Sims said. “That was an awkward day and I just pray I don't have to go through that again.”
