Philadelphia Eagles Sam Bradford Suffers Concussion
And strong safety Reshad Jones had an interception in the end zone with 4:32 left to help preserve a 20-19 victory. “But you can say the same thing about the games we’ve won”. “We needed a win like that”. The screen was set up perfectly, the pass was thrown perfectly, and Murray just dropped it. They only scored two touchdowns.
Ultimately a ball that deflected off the helmet of Connor Barwin and high into the air was pulled down by Jarvis Landry in the end zone for what proved to be the winning points.
If Kelly is not considering it, then he deserves to be on the hot seat for giving Tebow all that time in the preseason with the Eagles offense when he could have been auditioning another quarterback. The blindside hit made him fumble out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
Still, the offense was good enough.
The Dolphins had a shaky special teams’ performance. The Eagles had a 16-13 lead when Bradford got injured but ultimately lost the game by blowing several opportunities and suffering from costly turnovers. Though Dennis Kelly would recover the ball, the Eagles would not really recover at all. The Dolphins allowed 266 rushing yards the week before against the Buffalo Bills.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it”, Kelly said.
Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins was taken to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for observation after sustaining his second concussion in three games.
Sanchez couldn’t rally Philadelphia to a comeback win over Miami on Sunday, but will likely get another chance this week when the Eagles (4-5) host Tampa Bay (4-5). He ended with one tackle and one pass defensed.
“About time”, cornerback Bobby McCain said. When the running game is going well, the whole offense seems more vibrant.
But on Sunday while playing with a makeshift defense due to injuries the Dolphins took advantage of Mark Sanchez.
The Eagles have seven games to play, so there is time for corrections.
“He stepped up”, interim coach Dan Campbell said. The 6-foot-4 Suh has three of his four sacks over the last four games and has finally adjusted to his role in Miami after years in Detroit.
Still, Kelly’s game plan doesn’t change no matter who starts. “I had food poisoning and that was causing me to throw up”, he said. “He was chasing plays down, chasing screens”. “I’m thinking about today”.
“I just didn’t see him coming”. He’s getting better and better and better and he is a menace. “I’m proud of the way the guy played”.
