Eagles got their second win of the season, in a lack luster, boring game. Eagles managed to defeat the Jets 16-9 to improve to 2-3 on the year, while the Jets fall to, 1-5. There was only one offensive touchdown scored in the game, in which Kevin Curtis broke a couple tackles to spring for a 75yd touchdown.
The Eagles had a couple bright spots in this game, even though the score does not really show it. Brian Westbrook, is looking more and more like a possible Hall of Famer after every week of play. It clearly shows the Eagles offense runs through him. He ran the ball 20 times for 120 yds and caught 6 passes for 36yds. If he stays healthy for the remainder of the year, eagles offense will just improve every week, since Mcnabb will be getting healthier and healthier. Also, the Eagles defense has been looking like a dominant force this year. The did not allow a TD this game, and were able to force a huge turnover in th red zone, also recording 3 sacks. The Eagles will also be getting Lito Sheppard back next week, who hasn't played since week 1 to improve this stellar defense.
The Eagles are still in last place in the NFC east, but they are looking better each week that goes bye. The season is still young and the Eagles can still make a push to get back to the top of the diviison. They play the Bears next week at home, a win would get them back to .500.
