Philadelphia Eagles: 3 frustrating factors from 17-9 loss to Seahawks

2. No touchdowns from Philadelphia’s offense

First off, with all of the key injuries Philadelphia has been dealing with on offense, it’s tough to place a ton of blame on the offense failing to score a single touchdown.

But after looking at all of the obstacles the Eagles were forced to overcome in the final month of the regular season just to be in this position, the inability to find the end zone against the Seahawks still hurts.

While Metcalf certainly caused a ton of problems on defense, from an overall perspective, the unit deserves plenty of credit for holding Seattle to just 17 points in the loss since this is never an easy task with Wilson running the show.

Looking back and wondering what could have been is never a good idea after heartbreaking losses, but it’s difficult not to think how different this outcome would be if the Eagles just found the end zone once or twice instead of settling for field goals.

Sadly, it’s going to be difficult for any team to defeat a serious contender like Seattle by only converting three field goals, and this is part of the reason why no one should be all that surprised over Philadelphia coming up short in this one.
