EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Sunday’s 24-17 victory over the Jets wasn’t pretty. But with the Eagles coming into the game 0-2 on the season, appearances were the last thing on head coach Chip Kelly’s mind.
The Jets were undefeated entering Week 3 and had surrendered just 17 combined points through two games. New York’s defense is one of the most talented units in the NFL. In the opening weeks of the season, the vaunted group had already forced 10 turnovers, a number just three shy of their total from the entire 2014 season and three more than any other team in the league.
