LANDOVER, Md. - The Eagles dropped to 3-2 after they surrendered to the Redskins, 27-20, on Sunday. Here are ten things that we learned:
1. The Eagles are coming back to reality. A little perspective: If told before the season that the Eagles would be 3-2 after five games, most fans would have accepted that start. I didn’t see them getting there this way – winning the first three in convincing fashion by an average margin of 21.7 points, before losing the next two – but teams are always rising and falling week-to-week in the NFL, to paraphrase Hawthorne.
