The Eagles scored on all four of their first-half possessions, totaling 24 points and amassing 262 yards of offense. With starting QB Jalen Hurts, the leading rusher on the NFL's top ground attack, was out with an ankle injury, the Birds soared with Minshew. The veteran backup went 14-of-15 passing for 188 yards -- his 2 TDs went to TE Dallas Goedert, who had 5 receptions for 98 yards in 30 minutes of work.
The visitors dominated time of possession in the third quarter as three official's rulings did not go the Jets' way. Cornerback Bryce Hall was called for a third-down pass-interference penalty on Goedert before to a Jake Elliott 32-yard field goal and veteran LB C.J. Mosley was charged with encroachment before to a fourth-and-4 snap on the ensuing possession. Four plays later, the Williams brothers, DT Quinnen and LB Quincy, appeared to stop Minshew for no gain on a fourth-and-1. But the Eagles challenged the call, the ruling was reversed and the Eagles bled more clock before Elliott was true from 43 yards. The Eagles ran 24 plays in the third quarter and held the ball for 13:50 while the Jets ran three plays that took 1:10 off the clock.
Minshew was an efficient 20 of 25 for 242 yards with 2 TDs. Former Eagles S Elijah Riley came up with the Jets' lone sack and the Green & White were credited with three QB hits.
