The Eagles’ 33-25 win over the Giants gives them a one-game lead over the Cowboys with two games remaining in the regular season.
The team has eleven wins and is in a great spot after a losing streak brought them back to Earth.
Despite the Christmas Day victory, glaring issues still exist for this team.
Eagles star wide receiver DeVonta Smith spoke to the media after the game and admitted the team is “not playing good football right now.”
“Eleven wins?” Smith said, via NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. “We’re not playing good football right now. As an offense, we’re not where we want to be. I’m not satisfied. Yeah, we got 11 wins. I’m not happy. It needs to be better for what I want to do, what everybody else in here wants to do, what we want to be. We’re nowhere near that so no I’m not happy.”
Despite having a 20-3 lead at halftime, the Eagles allowed the Giants to score 15-straight points in the third quarter and 22 points overall in the second half to make the game closer than it had to be.

The losses to San Francisco, Dallas, and Seattle essentially ended Philadelphia’s bid for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. However, the 49ers would go on to lose later that night to the Ravens and put them back in the fight for it.
The Lions, 49ers, and Eagles are tied atop the NFC standings with 11-4 records.
The Eagles host Arizona on Sunday.
