Eagles Reportedly Removed 'Positivity Rabbit' from Locker Room After MNF Loss

The Philadelphia Eagles have abandoned the "positivity rabbit" in their locker room following Monday's 22-19 overtime loss against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The rabbit was a much-discussed addition to the team's locker room ahead of the matchup with the Chargers, with various explanations for its existence:

Running back Saquon Barkley told reporters before the Chargers game that the sideline vibes for the Eagles had been "awful."

"Ask anybody, if they're being honest, we all agree on that," he continued. "But most importantly, I think the energy throughout in practice and walkthroughs and meetings been great. Now we got to carry that to game day."

The positivity rabbit wasn't going to help much on a night that saw quarterback Jalen Hurts turn the ball over five times, including two on a single play.

He also threw the game-clinching interception in overtime, with the Eagles in the red zone and in position to either score a touchdown to win the game or potentially run down the clock and kick a field goal to at least secure a tie.

The Eagles have now lost three straight games, with the offense remaining a major point of concern for the team. While the Birds battered teams in the trenches last year with an elite rushing attack, this year the team is 22nd on the ground (110.5 YPG). And while Hurts only turned the ball over three times in the first 11 games, he now has seven turnovers in the past two games alone.

Last year's defending champions appear to be on the ropes, mirroring the late-season meltdown that defined the 2023 campaign. Something has to change for the offense in particular, and fast. The positivity rabbit was the first casualty.
