Eagles lose Bradford to injury and lose game to Dolphins
Kelly was evasive when asked how the numerous changes he’d made on the offensive side of the ball after getting full authority over personnel decision had impacted the Eagles. The ball was in slow motion coming down.
“I’m not thinking about past year”, he said.
C Jason Kelce played one of the worst games of his career against the Dolphins. He had a sack, three tackles for losses and three hurries. “He did so much for us”.
After being engulfed by Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain in the third quarter on Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford sustained an injured left shoulder as well as a concussion which took him out of the contest.
“This is a great opportunity for us”, Suh said. “I think the rush got to us a little bit”.
After Bradford was injured, the Dolphins went ahead 20-16 on their next drive. Receiver Rishard Matthews (five receptions, 93 yards) was productive once again. He then tossed a TD pass to Landry on a ball that was deflected and sailed high in the air.
“It seemed like it was up there for about 10 seconds”, Tannehill said.
Hewitt, Hull and Lippett contributed from scrimmage, and kicker Andrew Franks (two field goals, two extra points) and punter Matt Darr (eight punts, 49.1 yards per punt) were also solid. The Dolphins final two road games are against the Jets (5-4) and Chargers (2-7).
“I’m not fired up about safeties at all”, Campbell said.
The Dolphins became the first team since the 1980 Seattle Seahawks to take three safeties in one game.
“And every time you call a pass play, you don’t tell the quarterback, ‘Don’t take a sack”.
Crossing Broad put together a number of gloomy statistics following the Eagles’ latest loss. Dolphins CB Brent Grimes was a surprise inactive, ending his streak of 40 straight starts. Miami then lost starting CB Brice McCain to a knee injury.
Malcolm Jenkins had what sounded like a mild concussion last week and was cleared by Thursday morning after a Sunday night game. “It’s so special for us and exciting to see all of us rookies out there making plays”. We ran a naked once with a defensive end, didn’t bite; he came underneath and made a real good pass to [Brent] Celek. This is a place where I’ll cover all things related to South Florida sports, with a steady combination of facts and opinions while ultimately keeping a close eye on anything and everything related to our local teams.
“He threw an interception, which you don’t want to do”, Shurmur said.
To return to the practice field, Bradford will have to pass the NFL’s concussion protocol. Even after the interception in the end zone, the Eagles still had a chance to win the game.
“I don’t know if it would have been a touchdown, but I probably would have had a decent gain”, he said. “That’s how football goes. You have to overcome a few of that stuff and we still had an opportunity at the end of the game to win and we just didn’t do it”.
