With two minutes to go in Sunday's game, Alshon Jeffery uncharacteristically dropped an easy pass that fell into the hands of a Saints defended ending the Eagles' drive and season.
After the game, Jeffery took complete responsibility for the loss.
"That's on me. I'll take that loss. That's on me," Jeffery said. "I let all my teammates down, the city of Philadelphia. That is on me. I'll take that."
Alshon: "To the city of Philadelphia, that's on me." --

However, we posted the video of Jeffery's comments on our social media accounts and the comments were overwhelming in support of Jeffery.
Things like:
"You did great Alshon. No need to apologize"
"We got you Alshon. Come back strong."
"This hurts my heart! This man has given us so much and has come in clutch multiple times! He's human. This is not on him."
"It happens! I will take @TheWorldof_AJ on my team everyday!"
"We all we got. We all we need. We love you for ever"
"We love you 17"
"Appreciate you being a first class pro and stand up guy--but you're wrong here. No way this team wins a Super Bowl last year or advances this year without you. This loss is NOT on you. Philly will always be there for a guy like you!"
And on and on and on it goes.
Read the comment on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
I thought Philly fans are supposed to be "vicious, crazy, and awful?" Psh. Great job, Philadelphia, once again.
