Eagles stumble as late-season slide continues after Bills loss
The Philadelphia Eagles, 7-5, fell 30-23 to the Buffalo Bills after a poor first quarter, despite Randall Cunningham’s late scores. Coach Buddy Ryan criticized the tackling as the Eagles’ playoff hopes dim amid NFC wild-card race with Washington, Minnesota, Green Bay, Dallas, and the Rams. In the AFC, Bills and Chiefs led their divisions, while Bengals held a key tiebreaker in a muddled Central. Cunningham’s big plays, including a 60-yard scramble and a Barnett TD, highlighted the defeat.
