Eagles Receiver Jeremy Maclin Snaps at Reporter When Asked About Turnovers (Video) The dream may be dead, according to Michael Vick, but the nightmare has just begun for the Philadelphia Eagles.

At 1-4, they are consistently plagued by costly turnovers. The team's 15 total turnovers and minus-10 turnover differential are both currently the worst in the NFL.

It's no surprise that reporters are wondering what's the cause of the turnovers, as those have been the key ingredient to the disappointing start to the season. What is surprising, though, is receiver Jeremy Maclin's terse response when asked about them.

"There's no pinpoint reason why you're turning the ball over," Maclin aggressively responded.

He became especially defensive when asked about the coaching staff's involvement in the early turnovers, saying, "It's not coach that's turning the ball over. It's us out there playing."

Maclin is responsible for one fumble, but Vick takes the turnover cake with 14 (seven fumbles, seven interceptions) in five games on his own.

Maclin ended the discussion by telling the reporters to, "Get out of [his] face."
