DeMarco Murray inactive vs. Jets

Darren Sproles accounted for two touchdowns, including a spectacular 89-yard punt return in the second quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles claimed their first win of the season with a 24-17 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Agholor has been slow to start, but he remains a good sleeper option moving forward despite putting up just four catches for 36 yards in two games.

“You can’t do that”, Marshall said of his play. We talk about it, the injury rate is probably 100 percent.

Despite losing their coach earlier this year, the Jets have been on point defensively as they have shut down defences of their opponents. “I feel like we were all pressing a little bit”.

“We’re always concerned about everything here, whether we start 0-2 or 2-0”, he said. This was a good move for the future because the Phillies owners realized that they could not get a big-name person to accept the job with the team in total rebuild mode. “To tell the truth, I don’t know what I did”. The Eagles have scored a total of 34 points. According to Elias Sports Bureau, he is the first defending rushing champ to have that few rush yards in his first two games in almost 80 years (Doug Russell, 1936 Chicago Cardinals). But Walter Thurmond picked off his second pass of the season, adding to interceptions by rookies Hicks and Eric Rowe, and after a 53-yard field goal by Ryan Quigley, killed the clock. Defensive end Cedric Thornton will miss the game with a broken bone in his hand, and backup Taylor Hart also will be out because of a shoulder injury.

“Some guys had some opportunities to step up and make plays”, Kelly said referencing Hicks, Bair and Rowe as examples. If you’re not going to get to the quarterback, can you disrupt his timing and can you disrupt the throwing lanes?

In Decker’s absence, Jeremy Kerley will need to step up as he’s been the forgotten man in this offense especially since signing his contract extension with the Jets a year ago. At least that was the story they were sticking to.

“I saw a whole bunch of green grass”, Sproles said. Murray and Mathews have been most successful during their careers when they line up behind the quarterback and follow an attacking, aggressive offensive line. Even though it is only Week 3 of the National Football League 2015 regular season, this is already a must win game for the Eagles if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive. Rookie Tevin Campbell led the way with 80 yards on 20 carries…. It was hardly a wild rush back for the Jets, who struggled to generate any kind of offensive consistency while turning the ball over four times but remained alive because their defense didn’t let things get out of hand. The Bears (0-3) had just 146 yards and seven first downs in the loss. Once again, this team has tried to build through free agency after having two consecutively bad drafts. “I think this is the beginning of something great”.

And on this day it took all of the above and more.

If Ryan Fitzpatrick has to throw the ball 58 times as he did against the Eagles, the Jets won’t win very many football games.
