The Birds are winning ugly,‌ and it's driving some pundits crazy.‌

The Eagles are bucking some longtime beliefs about the NFL. And people don’t like it.
Here are two moments from Sunday that speak to why so many people who cover and follow the NFL are fixated on and frustrated by the Eagles these days.

Bill Simmons recorded an episode of his eponymous podcast. During his conversation with his cohost about that day’s NFL games and in particular the Eagles’ 20-17 victory over the Chiefs, Simmons declared that he “can’t stand” watching the Eagles.

Here’s the second: Late in the fourth quarter, Jalen Hurts and his teammates on the Eagles offense lined up to take a knee and run out the clock. Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones barked at Hurts: “You didn’t even have a hundred yards.” Hurts barked back: “We won the [expletive] game. Chill out with that [expletive].”

People complain about the boring offense and the lack of fantasy stats, but the Eagles are still winning their way.
