Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie denies to comment on abysmal loss to Giants
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was exiting the elevator on Sunday evening following his Birds' torturous loss to the New York Giants when Philadelphia Inquirer's  Mike Sielski asked him for a comment.  

Lurie didn't even have it him to politely say no, instead, he simply shook his head and kept walking, Sielski shared on X/Twitter post-game. 

Sielski also shared that despite getting no comment from Lurie, the Eagles' owner kept a smile on his face. 

A smile that had to have been a fake one. 

The Eagles were so bad against the Giants that they looked like they had never played football. 

The Giants took an easy 24-0 lead into the half before Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni decided to bench some starters. 

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was pulled before the half due to a finger injury and replaced with Marcus Mariota who threw an interception on his first pass. 

Philly didn't get a touchdown on the board until the fourth quarter, which marked wide receiver Quez Watkin's first TD of the year --- in meaningless fashion. 

The Eagles defense surrendered a total of 27 points and 415 yards to New York. Meanwhile, the Giants held the Eagles to 10 points and 299 total yards.  

Despite dropping the ball big-time in five of their last six games, Hurts and his teammates stand behind Sirianni ahead of the post-season. 

"I have a lot of confidence in Coach. He puts his heart into it. He has a will to win. And that’s really all you can ask for," Hurts said.  

Once a 10-1 team and in control of the NFC East, the Eagles finish the regular season with an 11-6 and head into Wild Card Weekend as the No. 5 seed where they'll take on the (9-8) Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Florida. 

“It’s simply win or go home. Nothing else matters," Hurts said.
