By Jenn McGrawShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberIf a loss to the Dallas Cowboys wasn't bad enough, the Philadelphia Eagles also lost to the Chicago Bears 24-15 in a disappointing home game on Black Friday – their fourth loss of the season.
The Eagles started off slow as the Bears took an early 7-0 lead thanks to running back D'Andre Swift. The Bears kept scoring while holding the Eagles to only 15 points.
So far this season, most eyes have been on wide receiver A. J. Brown for his complaints about not getting the ball. Other fingers were pointed at offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo for his play-calling style.
Regardless of who's taking the blame, the team agrees it's a group effort that contributed to the four losses.

Following the Bears defeat, head coach Nick Sirianni doubled down on his thoughts about the loss, saying it's not just one person making an error.
Bearing that in mind, Sirianni also confirmed that Patullo will continue calling plays on offense despite the mounting calls from fans who have been wanting Sirianni to take over those duties.

Brown, who's been very vocal about the offensive struggles this season, also weighed in on today's game. He agreed that it's not one coach or player but a "lack of execution."
Brown had 10 receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns, proving to execute efficiently when given the ball. He has 56 receptions for 699 yards and six touchdowns this season.

Whatever the Eagles' issues are, they have some time to figure it out before facing the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 8 and Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 14 -- a game in which Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson is slated to return from injury.
