The Philadelphia Eagles looked absolutely defeated Monday night, dropping their fifth straight game in a 38-21 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. This is the first five-game skid for the Eagles under Nick Sirianni, and the first for the franchise since way back in 2016. It’s a brutal fall for a team that, according to the source, went from the pinnacle of the NFL to one of the worst teams in just two years, with “no solutions in sight.”
A Lifeless Linc and a Defense on Skates
Seriously, the Linc, usually electric for a Cowboys rivalry game, felt “lifeless all night,” with fans bailing out with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. You know things are bad when large sections of open seats pop up. The Cowboys, who’ve been running on fumes with a 76-yard rushing average, suddenly looked like a dominant ground attack against the Eagles’ “tired, haggard defense.” Dallas carved up the Eagles for 204 rushing yards, averaging 5.4 yards a carry, with Javonte Williams slicing through for 155 yards on his own, averaging 6.2. Dak Prescott completed 15 of 27 for 212 yards and three touchdowns. They did whatever they wanted, scoring on seven of nine possessions. The Eagles’ “vaunted” defense managed *zero* tackles for a loss on 65 plays. Zero. Dallas just pounded them for 416 total yards, averaging a crazy 6.4 yards per play. It sounds like a total gut-punch.
The Eagles’ Tank, and Seattle’s Ascent
Dallas moved to 3-4, while the Eagles cratered to 2-5, and honestly, the source says the teams feel “light years away from each other.” This isn’t just a loss, it’s a “new level of low” that has the “shroud of apathy” descending on their 2026 season. They’ve effectively turned this into an “extended exhibition season,” and the empty Linc in the fourth quarter on Monday was the perfect symbol. The source even says to “prepare for the Linc to be primed for takeovers by contending teams like the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Seattle Seahawks,you know, teams that matter.” Well, hello there!
The mention of our Seahawks in that company tells you everything you need to know about where we stand. While other teams are folding, our Hawks are getting it done. Just look at our own performance against the Chiefs: the Seattle Seahawks won that one 20-3! That’s the kind of commanding football you see from a team ready to compete, a team that matters.
So while Eagles fans are dreading what’s left of their 2026 season, we in Seattle know our Hawks are built differently. We’re looking forward to more dominant performances and showing the league exactly what a “contending team” looks like. We’re not just waiting for the Linc to be taken over, we’re ready for our own Lumen Field to be rocking every single Sunday with winning football. Let’s go Hawks!
