The Philadelphia Eagles have had their fair share of halftime deficits this season, but Sunday’s game against the 49ers proved to be a different story. Despite coming into the game with a five-game winning streak, the Eagles couldn’t pull off another comeback win and suffered a 42-19 loss after trailing 14-6 at halftime. Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that the team has a lot of work to do after a disappointing performance against one of their top NFC rivals.
“We didn’t coach well, didn’t play well,” Sirianni admitted. “It’s as simple as that. And credit to them, too. They’re a really good football team. If you don’t bring your best game against them, it’s going to show. We need to coach and play better. There’s a lot to clean up.”
The Eagles may have another chance to face the 49ers in the playoffs, but they need to address their mistakes quickly if they want to secure home-field advantage. With a crucial matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14, the Eagles risk losing their lead for the top seed in the NFC if they can’t secure a win.
