The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t get off to the best start of the season.
They managed to win games and constantly found ways to end on top of the scoreboard, but they just didn’t look like the same dominant force they were last season.
Some were concerned earlier in the campaign, but others seemed unfazed and unbothered, stating that all that mattered was that they kept winning games.
Fast forward to today, and Nick Sirianni’s team has now dropped three games in a row and are no longer in control of their destiny or the division.
With that in mind, NFL analyst Craig Carton believes that their problems now are not just about their defense anymore, as they also have some rumblings in the locker room (via The Carton Show).
“You have a real problem now in Philadelphia. Not only statistically has their defense been putrid for the entire season, you’ve now got rumblings in the locker room.”

Eagles players don’t look happy at all right now.
Even veterans like Jason Kelce are making avoidable and rookie-like mistakes, and Jalen Hurts doesn’t look like the same player he was last season.
The Eagles even held drills with Hurts on his turnover issues in practicing to fall without fumbling the football.
Whatever the case, the Eagles’ defense has been quite vulnerable this season, especially of late.
They’re still good and talented enough to turn the season around, but they’ll need to tighten things up on defense if they want to stand a chance of getting past the San Francisco 49ers or Dallas Cowboys in the NFC.
