After the Dallas Cowboys suffered a loss to the Green Bay Packers over the weekend, all eyes were on the Eagles to save the NFC East from a total embarrassment. Unfortunately, Philly completely dropped the ball against the Buccaneers.

On Monday night in Tampa Bay, the Bucs dominated on both sides of the ball, with Baker Mayfield completely outplaying Jalen Hurts. In the end, the Bucs posted a 32-9 victory and the Eagles were sent home. Just like that, their Super Bowl dreams are over.

Mayfield indeed looked sharp, while the Philly offense couldn't do much of anything on the night. Not having A.J. Brown proved to be terrible for Nick Sirianni. Now, Sirianni's status as head coach is totally up in the air.
