Jason Kelce calls back-to-back Eagles losses "embarrassing" on latest episode of New Heights podcast
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Jason Kelce isn't happy with the Philadelphia Eagles' last two games either.
On a new episode of his New Heights podcast with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis, Jason expressed his frustration coming off back-to-back losses, first against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13 and then to NFC East division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
"We didn't score a touchdown offensively. We moved the ball decently at times, but it's our second week in a row of losing in embarrassing fashion. It's frustrating. It's very, very frustrating," Kelce said of Sunday night's game in Dallas.
"It's been a frustrating couple of weeks here, these last two games," he continued. "But the beautiful thing about this game is though, you get a chance to go back out there again next week and show on tape who you are and who you can be."
When asked by Travis about the energy during midweek meetings and workouts, Jason said the team watched back tape from the Dallas game and had "a lot of hard conversations, the way it always is after a loss."
"I firmly believe in each and every guy we have in this building, all of our coaches, to continue to work and make this thing better," he said.
The 10-3 Eagles now sit in second place in the NFC East, just slightly behind the now number one, and also 10-3, Dallas Cowboys.
