Eagles' Chip Kelly sticking with Bradford - for now

Chip Kelly inherited an uncomfortable quarterback situation the day he reconsidered owner Jeffrey Lurie's offer to become the 21st head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. One-hundred-and-forty weeks later, the coach could be on the precipice of that same precarious position.

Only the names have changed.

Sure, Kelly is expressing confidence in Sam Bradford as his 0-2 team prepares for a must-win road game Sunday against a New York Jets defense that has allowed the fewest points (17) and forced the most turnovers (10) through the first two weeks of the season. Two games are too few to pull the plug on a guy you spent the offseason pumping up more than Hans and Franz.
