WATCH: Philly newscaster suggests Eagles need to stop having sex to start winning

The Philadelphia Eagles have experienced a host of problems as they’ve started the season 2-3, including a loss on Sunday to the Minnesota Vikings.

The defending Super Bowl champions have seen plenty of trouble, and Sunday that included eight penalties for 52 yards, and just 81 rushing yards.

Many people around Philadelphia have discussed solutions, but none perhaps were as bold as the idea from Fox 29’s Garry Cobb.

“I would go to drastic measures,” he said on air. “I think they need to go on a fast. … Not food fast, the boys need to be cut off … from sex.”

He emphatically believed that that would make a difference, as his co-hosts laughed and further questioned his theory.

“It fogs up your mind, you know what I mean,” he said.

@GarryCobb says the @Eagles players need to cease from taking part in any ‘bedroom’ activities until further notice.
