Going against a veteran team like the Seahawks at home in December requires playing sound football. Quarterback Russell Wilson is a player who cannot be given extra opportunities to fuel his squad.

The way Wilson scrambles and creates big plays, along with how well he delivers the football from the pocket, makes him a tough out. And on Sunday night, the Eagles gave Wilson and Seattle’s offense multiple chances via penalties and turnovers.

In total, the Eagles were called for seven penalties for 64 yards, including several that aided Seahawks scoring drives and one that negated a run that would’ve given Philadelphia first-and-goal from inside the 5.

“You can’t make those mistakes against good football teams on the road and expect to win. You can’t do it, and we did it again today,” Pederson said after the game on Sunday.

The first costly penalty came on the Seahawks’ third offensive drive of the game. Cornerback Ronald Darby was called for pass interference when he was defending wideout Paul Richardson on a deep pass along the boundary.

The penalty gave Seattle the ball at Philadelphia’s 16-yard line. Linebacker Nigel Bradham was called for defensive holding on the next play, which moved the ball to the 11-yard line.

Wilson lofted a pass to tight end Jimmy Graham on a slot fade on the next play for a 10-0 lead.

The Eagles advanced the ball to the red zone on their next drive, and an 11-yard run by LeGarrette Blount appeared to set Philadelphia up at the 4-yard line. But a holding call on Alshon Jeffery cost them 10 yards on the play.

Instead of first-and-goal, the Eagles faced first-and-9 from the 14-yard line. They had to settle for a field goal.

Jeffery’s penalty was a costly one. Philadelphia was in a position to score a touchdown, which is something the Eagles had done 71.8 percent of the time they reached the red zone this season. No team in the NFL had been better than the Eagles at red zone touchdown scoring efficiency entering Week 13. But Seattle kept the Eagles out of the end zone on both of their red zone visits.

Carson Wentz and the offense came out with a sense of urgency to start the third quarter. The uptempo offense was working for them on their first drive in the second half.

Philadelphia once again entered the red zone, but this time the scoring opportunity was thwarted by a turnover. On first-and-goal from the 4-yard line, Seattle stuffed Blount for a loss of two. Wentz saw a crease on the next play and made a run for the end zone. Seahawks defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson stripped the ball from Wentz, and it bounced out of the back of the end zone for a touchback.

The defense almost got the ball back for the offense on Seattle’s next drive. But a defensive holding penalty on Eagles cornerback Patrick Robinson gave the Seahawks a new set of downs after Wilson’s pass fell incomplete on third-and-1.

In the midst of five incompletions by Wilson on Seattle’s next drive was a holding call on Philadelphia defensive back Corey Graham. The penalty didn’t result in a first down, but it was the second penalty on the drive.

Wilson stood in the pocket against a zero blitz by the Eagles defense and delivered a 47-yard pass to Doug Baldwin that set up a one-yard pass to Tyler Lockett to make it 17-3.

It was the second straight error-filled game for Eagles after a 31-3 win over the Bears in which they fumbled four times and committed 11 penalties for 70 yards. Philadelphia will try to clean up their mistakes as they stay on the West Coast to work out ahead of their showdown in Los Angeles against the Rams in Week 14.
