Emmitt Smith Rips Eagles for Quitting vs. Washington

The Philadelphia Eagles drew criticism from around the league for their performance on Sunday Night Football against the Washington Football Team. And now three-time Super Bowl champion Emmitt Smith is weighing in on the Eagles, and the unimpressive NFC East division during the 2020 NFL season. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Smith said that the NFC East performance "was subpar at best—straight across the board." He "didn't totally agree" with how the Philadelphia-based team handled the game. "It's as if you're taking on the mentality of NBA basketball," the Pro Football Hall of Famer said. "...You see some teams take dives so they can secure the No. 1 pick. "The message that you're sending, to not only your teammates, is not the message I grew up with—never quit, always fight to the end and give your best performance every time you step foot on the football field." -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Worst NFL Drafts of All Time!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRms7q-Soes -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
