Eagles are in the rare position of not having top billing in Philly right now. They are currently down on the second shelf, while the city celebrates the Phillies advancing to the NLCS for the 2nd straight time. But luckily, that series does not start until Monday. Meaning on Sunday, Philly fans can still devote all of our attention to the Birds, who are taking on the Jets in not New York this weekend.
And they are worthy of our attention. The Eagles head into the game 5-0, with a chance to start 6-0 for the second straight season on the line. There have been some sloppy performances mixed into those wins. But they won them all. And last week vs the Rams it seemed like things start to click on both sides of the ball. They now have 300 passing yards for two straight weeks. 400 total yards in the last 4 games. And the defense has held the other team under 300 yards in 2 of the last 3 games.
The Eagles have never lost to the Jets, literally ever. They are 12-0 All Time vs them. Will that record stand though? Or can the Jets finally break through and get into the win column?
Well, the season has not gone the way Jets fans hoped. Thanks in large part to Aaron Rodger’s injury. Swapping in Zach Wilson for a former MVP QB has severely limited their offense. But the defense is still very good. They have an elite CB duo and a fairly dangerous D-Line. They are a hit susceptible to the run game. But this is a team that did beat the Bills and gave the Chiefs a hard time. So they are not complete pushovers. So let’s look through the Jets roster, to see where the Jets could maybe hurt the Eagles.
