Omaha said it best, it’s slightly better without Pryor but it’s still really bad.
It’s the story of the entire season.

One of the sacks was Ryan taking one intentionally on 3rd down and goal to keep the clock running, instead of throwing an incomplete pass ...... the Colts were in chip-shot field goal range either way, so Ryan did the right thing back sitting down in-bounds to make the Eagles use one of their time-outs instead of throwing it out of bounds and stopping the clock.
Also, of the other 3 sacks, at least 2 of them were coverage sacks, not necessarily the fault of the offensive line. In fact, on none of the other 3 sacks did we see what we have been seeing most of the season, which is having defensive linemen/linebackers in the quarterback's face less than 2 seconds after the ball is snapped. Although, they were there pretty quick on the final sack (about 3 or 4 seconds after the ball was snapped) at the end of the game.
My eyes saw a solid game from them today, much closer to the 2 in which they had against the Jaguars in Week 6 and against the Raiders in Week 10 than the 8 awful ones that they had for most of the rest of this season.
