Ashley Fox: Eagles should avoid a No. 3 seed at all costs
Every year it seems, as the NFL regular season grinds to an end,
there is a game the
Eagles point to and say, "If only."
Last year, it was the dud against Oakland, a dreadful loss to a
horrible team that had it been a win, the
Eagles would have hosted their
first-round playoff game against Dallas rather than play the
Cowboys on the road.
When this season finally finishes up on Sunday, the
Eagles very well might look back at
that afternoon in Nashville when Titans defensive tackle Jason
Jones forced a LeSean McCoy fumble at the Tennessee 3-yard line and
turned what looked like an
Eagles win into an 18-point L. The
Eagles had that game won and in an
instant lost their composure. After they blinked, it was over.
Kenny Britt had a vintage T.O. performance, and the
Eagles limped home with a damaged
defense and an inexplicable loss.
