Coach Nick Sirianni's Eagles lost 26-10 to the Washington Commanders in a Week 8 Sunday Night Football stinker that led to a franchise low not seen since Andy Reid's days at the helm of the team. Saquon Barkley's potential trade status was a hot topic leading up to the game, and gave way to a low output on offense as coordinator Sean Mannion was the latest target of criticism.

Sirianni was asked about the Mannion situation after the Eagles were outclassed on the road against their division rivals. His comments were shared by Brooks Kubena of The Athletic.

“I'm not thinking of about any of that stuff right now. I've got a bunch of guys in that locker room that are hurting; every player, every coach. And right now, I'm getting through this moment with those guys. We need to get better as a whole. And I've got faith in everybody in that locker room. I've got a lot of faith in the coaches in that locker room.”

Tanner McKee had 212 yards and an interception while Elijah Mitchell and Barkley both contributed to the running game. Each finished with less than 40 yards, with Barkley adding a score on the ground. Makai Lemon continued his rookie ascent to contributing player as he had over 50 yards, seeming to find a bit of a rapport with the Eagles' backup QB.

The Eagles' coaches, players and fans have a ton of passion for the game, but passion won't win ballgames if Mannion and his offense don't execute, and the Eagles' defense doesn't step it up.
