The Eagles will need to do some deep soul-searching after allowing 17 second-half points and a disappointing 92-yard drive, letting the Seahawks a 20-17 win over Philadelphia.

Lock shined as the backup to injured quarterback Geno Smith, going 22 of 33 passing for 208 yards, one touchdown, and a 94.0 rating.

After a slow start, DK Metcalf had five catches for 48 yards, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with four catches for 48 yards and the miraculous touchdown catch.

With Philadelphia losing three in a row, here’s the national reaction to a heartbreaking loss.
