The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their most crushing defeat yet under Nick Sirianni, exposing critical flaws on both sides of the ball. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's stubborn reluctance to adapt, highlighted by ineffective pass rushes and missed tackles from Marcus Epps and Mukuba, leaves the Eagles vulnerable to dynamic offenses. With Jihaad Campbell under scrutiny at linebacker and the secondary plagued by assignment errors, the defense faces urgent questions about its ability to rebound.
