Philadelphia Eagles pass rush comes alive against New York Jets

Throughout the offseason, we couldn’t wait to see what the Philadelphia Eagles pass rush would look like. Although they lost two key contributors in Chris Long and Micahel Bennett, they still gained Vinny Curry, Malik Jackson, and even Timmy Jernigan back into the mix.

It felt like the defensive line would still dominate on game days, but that hasn’t been the case through the first four weeks of the season. With injuries and slow starts, the Eagles pass rush hasn’t been as disruptive. Before the Thursday night matchup against the Green Bay Packers last week, Derek Barnett was the first defensive end to notch a sack.
