Eagles star couldn’t be more wrong with his baseless attack on Buffalo after the heartbreaking game in Week 17
Jordan Mailata is turning heads for all the wrong reasons after the Week 17 showdown.
Nothing like adding insult to injury after the Buffalo Bills lost heartbreakingly to the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an ugly game by the offense for nearly three and a half quarters before it pulled up its bootstraps and got to work.
Quarterback Josh Allen had a receiver wide open for a two-point conversion to win the game, but missed his target and the Bills lost 13-12.
Immediately after the game, Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata threw some shade at the organization. Needless to say, Bills Mafia didn’t take too kindly to his words about the team.
“You could see the body language of the Bills, hands on hips, just breathing heavy, see the fog,” Maliata said. “Our guys, man, just I think we’re better conditioned. I’ll be really honest, I thought our guys were really better conditioned. Especially when they blew that timeout, and you saw three of the Bills guys on their knees, we were more than confident our boys were going to get the job done.”
Not the classiest move by Mailata
The Bills outgained the Eagles 331-190 in the loss, and quarterback Jalen Hurts didn’t have a single completion in the second half.
While the defense may have looked gassed, they stepped up in a big way and shut down the Eagles’ offense. Perhaps the conditioning of the Eagles wasn’t as great as Mailata led on, as in the second half alone, the Eagles only mustered 192 inches of offense, which equals about five total yards.
Running back Saquon Barkley was held in check, totaling only four yards on two carries, and Hurts, with no completions, was 0-for-6 in the second half as the Eagles punted on all four second-half possessions. Mailata must have been watching a different game.
At the end of the day, conditioning wasn’t the difference; execution was. The Bills’ defense did more than enough to win, forcing punts and keeping Philadelphia from doing anything remotely threatening in the second half.
Buffalo didn’t lose because it ran out of gas; it lost because it left points on the field. No amount of postgame trash talk can change what the film shows.
