Jets Beat Eagles 6-0 in Final Preseason Tune-Up as Starters Sit
The New York Jets defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 6-0 in a defensive struggle at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night as both teams wrapped up their respective preseason slates.
As this was the final exhibition, a number of key players sat out. Among those held out of action:
Eagles: QB Carson Wentz, QB Josh McCown, WR Alshon Jeffery, WR DeSean Jackson, TE Zach Ertz, S Malcolm Jenkins
Jets: QB Sam Darnold, RB Le'Veon Bell, S Jamal Adams
In a game featuring players fighting for roster spots, neither offense could do much early on. Of note, New York backup quarterback Trevor Siemian went 5-of-5 for 37 yards while playing just one series.
