EAGLES UNFILTERED: Recapping First Eagles Loss

It took 10 weeks and until mid-November before the Eagles suffered their first defeat, and it came inside the NFC East

It wasn't pretty. Not even close.

The Eagles' first loss finally arrived when they lost to the Washington Commanders, 32-21, on Monday Night Football.

It wasn't a good look on national television for the Eagles. They faced adversity, trailing by nine points entering the final quarter, and fumbled three times over those final 15 minutes.

There are concerns, for sure, but what the Eagles have done so far should not be diminished in any way.

They became the first team in the Eagles' 89-year history to start a season 8-0. Their first loss didn't come until mid-November and in Week 10.

There may not be another start like this in a very long time.

Now, though, the Eagles have to refocus and get ready to travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts on Sunday.

Before going there, here is a closer look at what transpired in the loss on the latest episode of Eagles Unfiltered with co-hosts Ed Kracz and Conor Myles.
