Five takeaways from the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles preseason opener vs. New York Jets

The Eagles wanted a quick start, and things couldn’t have gone any better after Jalen Hurts started perfect and Kyzir White made a game-changing play at the linebacker position.

Hurts was 6-6 for 80-yards, and one 22-yard touchdown to Dallas Goedert during his single drive at quarterback as the Philadelphia offense looked balanced with the third-year signal-caller spreading the football around.

On defense, the Eagles were solid early on.

They helped push the score to 14-0 after White snagged an interception off Zach Wilson after a beautiful drop into coverage, confusing the second-year quarterback.

Wilson would eventually leave with what some described as an ACL injury.

With Philadelphia up 14-3, here are five takeaways from the first half.
