The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Minnesota Vikings in dramatic fashion on Sunday. They were blown out 48-30 on the road, and emotions carried over to the side line. Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson was seeing jawing. It looked like he was yelling at either his position coach, Bob Bicknell, or fellow receiver Jason Avant.

Jackson tried to explain his out burst following the game.

“It was just a point in the game where you’re dealing with a lot of emotions involved, and it’s one of those things that happened,” Jackson said, via Comcast SportsNet Philly.

“I cannot really discuss what happened. That’s what happened, it is what it is. At the end of the day, we lost the game. We felt very comfortable and confident that we should be able to come out here and win, we just didn’t play good enough. We didn’t play good enough to win, and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.”
