Philadelphia Eagles played badly in their 37-10 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys, and they know it. As a matter of fact, they are not only aware of their poor performance, but are also embarrassed by it.

Speaking after the game, Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz admitted that he and his teammates feel “frustrated” and “little embarrassed” by the tough loss. 

“Frustrated, a little embarrassed, they beat the c**p out of us, we didn’t show up and we’ve got to be better but I’m confident in this group,” – said Wentz at the press conference.

Wentz finished the game by throwing for 191 yards and one touchdown, while he also had one interception. The 80.8 passer rating he posted against Cowboys was his second-worst in 2019.

“There’s things I can do better, I’ve got to have better pocket presence and help those guys out as well. At the end of the day we’ve got to all be better.” – he added.

Philly suffered their second consecutive defeat on Sunday while falling down to 3-4 record. Wentz, however, isn’t concerned about this and thinks the defeats will bring his team closer.

“I love the locker room, you never want to lose, but I think it’s going to pull us together. It’ll make us look in the mirror individually, but it’ll pull us together as a group,” – the 26-year-old signal-caller explained.

Philadelphia is having another tough matchup in Week 8 as they are scheduled to travel to Buffalo, where they will play the Bills. The Bills are currently 5-1.
