Eagles Trail Early, But Alonso Makes Debut

In the final game of the preseason, the Eagles got off to a bit of a slow start in New Jersey. A turnover helped the Jets take an early lead, which they sustained through the first quarter. The Eagles are currently trailing, 7-3.

Matt Barkley began the game for the Birds at quarterback, starting with the ball at the 20-yard line after a touchback. On the second play, Barkley threw deep downfield aiming for Josh Huff, but the pass was intercepted by Darrin Walls at the 48-yard line, giving the Jets possession merely 36 seconds into the first quarter.
