It wasn’t that long ago that the Philadelphia Eagles were 10-1 and considered by many to be the cream of the NFL. But everything collapsed.
The team lost five of six to end the season. He lost the cowboys in the race for the NFC East crown and was overwhelmed in a game that they tried to win most of the time, 27-10. , on Sunday. Now they have received terrible news of an injury in a situation they cannot afford.
Rookie safety Sydney Brown came on strong at the end of the regular season but will miss the entire postseason after reportedly tearing his ACL in the Week 18 loss to the Giants.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been weak at safety all year and it has been a major weakness for the team. They tried to address that by adding aging veteran Kevin Byard. But it didn’t really remove many of the background problems.
Brown has played much better, earning PFF grades over 66 in three of the last five Sunday contests. He had a big pick six against the Cardinals last weekend in a loss to the Eagles.
Now they’re without him as they try to stop the bleeding that took them from 10-1 to 11-6 and into the Wild Card round. They face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa Bay next Monday night.
