As if it wasn’t bad enough that the Bears didn’t get a first down in the first half Sunday. Or that their three top running backs — Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen and Benny Cunningham — combined for negative yardage in the game. Or that Mitch Trubisky, the quarterback of the future, threw two picks and posted a quarterback rating of 0.3 (yes, that’s zero-point-three).

No, none of that during the 31-3 loss in Philadelphia was as demoralizing as this: a few Eagles were spotted playing Tic-Tac-Toe on the sideline.

Late in the game, as cameras caught Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz on the sideline after his three-touchdown performance, a few of his teammates could be seen over his shoulder playing the age-old game.

Running back Wendell Smallwood, who sat out with an injury, clearly wasn’t drawing up plays on the dry-erase board. But could you blame him for not watching that debacle?

The Eagles that did play in the game found other ways to have fun during the blowout victory.
