EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Of all the ways to complete the following phrase - "The Eagles won, but . . ." - the most obvious and troubling was, "Sam Bradford struggled again."
There will be harsher language used by some to described the quarterback's performance in the Eagles' scrappy 24-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Indeed, Bradford wasn't sharp. He was behind, short or over receivers all game.
But he didn't commit a turnover against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Considering the Jets forced 10 in the first two weeks, and Eagles quarterbacks accounted for the most turnovers in the league last year, Bradford's sure handedness can't be overstated.
