EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) Jalen Hurts' dangling, contorted finger needed a quick fix. As Hurts waited on the sideline for a tape job, he casually, innocently though no doubt, in a game that rapidly spiraled into a disaster, Eagles fans everywhere were doing the same to their televisions.From best team in the NFL for the bulk of the season to one of the worst ones down the stretch, the Eagles are suddenly on the brink of a potential offseason of upheaval.Hurts, A.J. Brown and a host of , ineffective Wilmer Difo Jersey Eagles can only hope they bottomed out Sunday a 1-5 finish headed into the postseason that raised doubts about the state of the franchise in a 27-10 lo s to the New York Giants.The Eagles (11-6) earned the No. 5 seed and will open the NFC playoffs next Monday night at Tampa Bay.ADVERTISEMENT It's about how you respond to it, and weve got to respond," Hurts said. This is what it is."If recent weeks are any indication, it could be a short playoff run for the NFC champions. The Eagles entered the game with an outside shot at the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. They didnt get the needed help in Washington, where the Dallas Cowboys won the game, the NFC East title and the second spot in the conference.It didnt matter anyway.The first blow came when injured starters DeVonta Smith, Darius Slay and DAndre Swift were unable to play. Fletcher Cox also sat out.Most of the rest of the Eagles took the game off, too.How else to explain an embarra sment of effort and execution in easily the worst game in coach Nick Siriannis three seasons? The Eagles had the dubious distinction of topping last weeks 35-31 home lo s to Arizona as the most inexcusable defeat in Siriannis tenure.The feeling I'm getting from this team is very scary right now, Cox said. Obviously, everybody's pretty sad. We just got beat up by a pretty bad football team, let's just say that. We get to go out and play again next week.With the No. 2 seed never really in reach the Cowboys Jayson Werth Jersey were Sirianni could have rested his starters and played it safe for the fifth seed.But out the starters came, and in they went to the Raudy Read Jersey sideline medical tent. Hurts didnt seem too harmed when last seasons NFL MVP runner-up took a hard hit to the on his throwing hand. He was rattled on an incomplete pa s attempt on fourth-and-3 from the Eagles 48-yard line. Hurts got his finger taped and put on a glove for some warmup pa ses. He took off the glove and didnt mi s a snap.Hurts was 7 of 16 for 55 yards and one interception.Hurts says he's taking the injury a really unfortunate, crazy thing," he said day by day ahead of the Buccaneers game.With fellow 1,000-yard receiver Smith already out with an ankle injury, Brown and grabbed his right knee on the MetLife Stadium turf. The same turf where Jets QB Aaron Rodgers suffered torn a left Achilles tendon. The same turf other and urged for a change to natural gra s. Brown wasnt using crutches and didnt appear to be in a brace after he left the game. Sirianni said he hoped would be fine for the playoff game.This week, the talk radio hot takes and social media outrage in Philly will be focused solely on . A road playoff game. No division title. It was inconceivable after the Eagles followed a Super Bowl Adrian Sanchez Jersey lo s with a 10-1 start.I don't have any lack of faith or trust in Nick Sirianni, center Jason Kelce said.The Eagles joined the 2022 Miami Dolphins and 1986 New York Jets as teams to lose five of their last six games and still make the playoffs.As the lo ses piled up, Sirianni stripped defensive coordinator Sean Desai of his play-calling duties. Matt Patricia wasnt the answer. The offensive line couldnt handle blitzes or any serious pre sure. The Eagles tensed up Brown, a co-captain, stopped talking to the media for two weeks and they tried to put on a unified front in the locker room when pre sed on di sension within the team.But a win against the Giants could have settled nerves, soothed stomachs in Philly. After all, the Eagles had won five straight against New York and 13 of 15 overall (playoff included) and represented the only win in the December collapse. Look up, though, and there was New York's Saquon Barkley running for one touchdown, then another. Hurts had a pa s intercepted. Marcus Mariota replaced Hurts and promptly threw an interception. Tyrod Taylor threw for 229 yards in the first half, and the Giants led 24-0.Sirianni waved the white flag and pulled his starters. The game was lost. The season could be next.Ever since, what was it, four or five weeks ago, when we clinched the playoffs, I think everybody's just been waiting for the playoffs, tight end Dallas Goedert said. Not something that is a great thing. But I think everybody is going to be ready to go and we're going to show the world what we're capable of.INJURIESEagles S Sydney Brown also left the game with a knee injury suffered on a tackle in the first quarter. UP NEXTEagles: Hurts threw for a touchdown, ran for another and led the Eagles to a over Tampa Bay in September.Giants: With another season out of the playoffs, the Matt Wieters Jersey Giants can only look forward to the draft.___AP NFL:
