Sam Bradford doesn’t practice for Eagles, but Jason Peters does
The 16 points scored by the team surpassed the total number of points they scored in the first quarter all season. He then tossed a TD pass to Landry on a ball that was deflected and sailed high in the air. And Tannehill was sacked in the end zone in the first quarter. The blindside hit made him fumble out of the back of the end zone for a safety.
The Dolphins are the first National Football League team to have a safety against them in three consecutive games since the 1980 Seattle Seahawks, and join the 1970 Pittsburgh Steelers as the only teams in history to have a safety against them in three consecutive games.
Still, the offense was good enough.
His performance against the Dolphins won’t be remembered as a glowing example of how Sanchez can successfully lead this offense. Several rookies played important roles, including McCain, cornerback Tony Lippett, linebacker Neville Hewitt and linebacker Zach Vigil, who blocked a punt to set up. It was one of the biggest plays of the game.
The Eagles turned the ball over on downs and lost. Williams slipped at the 1-yard line, injuring his ankle and putting the Dolphins in a deep hole. The complaint about Suh so far this season from Dolphins fans is that he is not showing up in the stat line after the game, and he does not appear to be as disruptive as he was with the Lions.
-COACHING: A. Interim coach Dan Campbell (3-2) kept his team pointed in the right direction despite back-to-back road losses at New England and Buffalo. It’s his job to put them in a better position to win.
-Cornerbacks Bobby McCain and Jamar Taylor seem to be engaged in a battle for playing time, and that’s a good thing because it means the Dolphins might be building depth. With that, 10 weeks and nine games into the season, the Eagles were into their annual quarterback crisis. “He’s a fighter. I know he’s going to do everything he can to get ready for next Sunday”. The Eagles’ owner knows he has a decision to make with Kelly and his decision is going to tell us if he believes that Kelly can actually build a victor in the NFL. The tight-ends were being utilised, the accuracy was there and has only thrown under 200 yards in a game once all season. And one of his touchdown passes was the result of a tipped pass that made it into the arms of receiver Jarvis Landry in the end zone. The Dolphins won the game 20-19. Chances are that the game he returns for will be against the Patriots…it’s a trial by fire.again. Josh Huff is the Eagles’ emergency quarterback.
Until Bradford is back and Kelly can continue meshing him into his offense, Kelly’s got to be the one to pull the strings of this team. Suh didn’t wreck the Eagles’ game plan, but he came close.
“He’s causing havoc, and he was in the backfield all day”, Campbell said. “He was chasing plays down, chasing screens”.
It’s taking a lot out of me to not go completely ballistic right now, so let’s just start by stating the obvious.
“I don’t have any information”, Kelly said.
-Linebacker Spencer Paysinger (neck) didn’t play Sunday at Philadelphia. Mathews left the game with a concussion in the third quarter and Murray had just 12 yards after halftime. Hull played mostly on special teams but saw a little time from scrimmage. The Dolphins were down 16-3 in the first quarter, then held the Eagles to those 16 points until a field goal in the fourth quarter.
