The Robert BrownPhiladelphia Eagles suddenly seem to have 99 problems, and "commitment" is apparently one of them.
Following Monday's last-minute loss to the Seahawks in Seattle – on a night when the weather was bad, lucky charm security chief Dom DiSandro was relegated to a suite, the defense was under new management and Jalen Hurts was playing despite a sick bout that compelled him to travel separately from his teammates – the Philly quarterback seemed to question his teammates in the aftermath of the club's third consecutive defeat following a 10-1 start.
"I’ve been talking about execution all year," Hurts said at his postgame news conference.
"Being on the same page, everyone being on the same page. We didn’t execute. I don’t think we’re all committed enough. Just got to turn it around. You know, it’s a challenge that we have to embrace. Just continue to see it through."
Asked to elaborate, Hurts also made it clear he's on the hook, too.

"It’s a matter of being on the same page," he said. "It takes everyone being all in, in all aspects. And it starts with me."
Playing through his ailment, Hurts didn't really look like himself at Lumen Field. He rushed for two touchdowns and a team-high 82 yards but only passed for 143 and was intercepted twice, including on Philadelphia's final offensive snap with a 20-17 game still very much in doubt.
He owned the performance without using his health as a crutch.
"I liked the opportunity to go out there and execute regardless what the circumstances is, and I didn’t do a good job with that," said Hurts, whose availability was in doubt pretty much right up until kickoff.
"I didn't lead good enough. I didn't do a good enough job in any circumstance."
The loss cost the Eagles first place in the NFC East, at least for now. However with two games remaining against the lowly New York Giants and one versus the Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia can still win the division by winning the rest of its games, regardless of whatever the Dallas Cowboys do.
