As discussed last week, your eyes do no deceive you in re: the Birds’ short-yardage struggles.
But whereas a week ago the Eagles were merely the 30th-ranked short-yardage team in the NFL, last weekend’s performance against the Giants has secured them the well-deserved honor of the number-32 slot. Yup. Last place. Worse than the Lions, worse than the Bengals, worse than the Raiders.
Of course, they’re actually now the fourth-best pass-blocking offensive line — just the way that Andy Reid likes it.
