This Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the New York Jets in what seems on the surface to be quite an inconsequential contest. In truth, for the Eagles, a win means a shot at the top spot in the NFC East and for the Jets, this game is a fantastic opportunity to right the ship after a damning 0-3 start. A Jets offense without a consistent quarterback has been at the crux of their slow start, which has overshadowed their much-improved defense.
With the offense unable to keep the football, the Jets’ defense has been on the field for 30:58 minutes per game, 7th longest in the league.
