Classic Eagles D on 3rd and 9. They just aren’t good enough to beat the best teams.

Birds were on a blitz, and ended up having Sydney Brown covering a WR. I know the Birds were happy to get Brown, and he's just a rookie. But he's terrible in coverage. Every time he gives up a pass reception, I'm reminded that the Birds took Brown early in the 3rd round, while Ji'Ayir Brown went later in the same round, and he's a much better cover safety (IMHO).

There’s still hope for Brown, but he doesn’t look like a cover safety early on. And the Watson kid isn’t a burner, right?

Birds's Jobe with the tackle on the punt at the Chiefs' 9.
