Philadelphia Eagles Blowing Fourth Quarter Leads At Historic Pace

If it seems like no team has ever been as bad in the 4th quarter as the Eagles this year… it’s because it’s true. According to CSNPhilly’s Ruben Frank, the Eagles are the first team in NFL history to blow four fourth quarter leads at home in one year. Even more amazing, they’ve done so in only five home games.

So the scary thing is, we just passed the halfway point of the season. The Eagles still have seven games to go including three at home. So, by the time this season ends, they could be the Joe DiMaggio of blown fourth quarter leads. No one will ever break this record.

You really have to feel for the season ticket holders. Not only having to sit through four fourth quarter collapses, but to have to pay thousands of dollars for it… That’s just wrong.
