Eagles vs Jets

The Eagles beat the Jets 24-17 on Sunday and are now just one game behind the Cowboys for first place in the NFC East. For the first time this season, the Eagles offense looked sharp. Andy Reid mixed the run and the pass well, including using all 3 Eagles running backs. Buckhalter ran for 2 touchdowns. McNabb passed well and was able to get some balls to his wideouts and just looked a lot more confident on the field. The only bad thing about their offense was pass protection, as evidenced by McNabb getting sacked 5 times. The Eagles' pass coverage was a little disappointing, since there were several plays, including the flea flicker during the first quarter, where the Jets receivers were wide open. Overall though, the Eagles looked sharp and it looks like once again Andy Reid has been able to pull his team together and get them back on the winning track.
