The Philadelphia Eagles broke out of their early-season doldrums in Sunday’s 39-17 throttling of the New Orleans Saints, racking up 516 yards of offense and finally appearing to be the juggernaut expected courtesy of Chip Kelly’s mad scientist methods?
So, what got the team over the hump? A better game plan? Better execution by the much-maligned offensive line?
Sure, those two things, among others, probably played a part, but some in the Eagles locker room are crediting – albeit jokingly — the appearance on Wednesday of a plush Jason Kelce “bleacher creature” hanging in Lane Johnson’s locker.
