Top 5 Worst Philly Sports Moments Of 2014

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- The Sixers finished with the NBA's second-to-worst record, dropped to third in the lottery, and then started a new season 0-17. The Flyers were eliminated in Game Seven of round 1 of the postseason by the New York Rangers, and continue to exemplify mediocrity.

The Eagles lost to the Saints on a last second field-goal in a home Wild Card playoff game ending their 2013 season. Then, in Chip Kelly's second season, they missed the playoffs despite being 9-3 with four games remaining.

And the Phillies, well, the Phillies are arguably the worst team in baseball.

Nevertheless, we did manage to find five positive 2014 Philadelphia sports moments on Tuesday. Today, more easily, we bring you the five worst moments.
