The Philadelphia Eagles badly needed a Week 15 victory to remain in the running as one of the top teams in the NFC. After starting the season as the hottest team in the league with a 10-1 record, Jalen Hurts and company had lost back-to-back games against the elite teams in the conference. But they had made it through the toughest part of their schedule, and were 4.5 point road favorites for their Monday Night Football contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

The tough times continued. After taking a 10-0 lead in the first half, the Eagles were outscored 20-7 the rest of the way. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was dealing with an illness that he came down with over the weekend, flying on a private plane in order to avoid getting his teammates sick, and it showed in his passing performance.
Hurts had an effective night rushing the ball, finishing with 82 yards and two short-yardage touchdowns, but struggled to throw the ball for the second-straight game. He completed just 17 of his 31 passes on the night and accumulated just 143 yards, and didn’t throw for any scores. But he had two big interceptions on the night, including on his final pass as the Eagles were looking to put together a last-minute scoring drive.
The three-game losing streak raises some serious doubts about Philadelphia and what the season results will be for Nick Siriani’s group, and the sportsbooks have shifted the odds on anything Eagles related as of late.
