Clutch defense powers Jets' upset win over Eagles

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Jets lost star quarterback Aaron Rodgers on the fourth play of the season, and now they're taking it out on the elite quarterbacks they encounter on their schedule.

Their latest victim was Jalen Hurts, whom the Jets intercepted three times -- twice in the fourth quarter -- to spark a 20-14 upset of the previously undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. It was the Jets' first-ever win over the Eagles after 12 losses, dating to 1973.

"These first six weeks, we played a gauntlet of quarterbacks and I know we haven't gotten all wins, but we've embarrassed all of them," coach Robert Saleh said after perhaps the biggest win of his 40-game tenure.
