Jets vs. Eagles: Final score prediction for Week 6

Jets vs. Eagles: Final score prediction for Week 6

It’s no secret that the New York Jets are facing a tall task in Week 6, but certainly not an impossible one. The Jets (2-3) are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) in their final game before their bye in Week 7. They are going to do so without their top two cornerbacks. Both Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed have concussions. They should, hopefully, be back for Week 8 against the New York Giants.

So it will be Bryce Hall and Craig James getting the start for the Jets at corner. Not an ideal situation going against two of the better receivers in the NFL, including one of the best in the league, in A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith.

That said, the Eagles aren’t fully healthy in the secondary either. Darius Slay has a knee injury and will not play, so expect Josh Jobe to take his place opposite James Bradberry. The Eagles also had a rotation at nickel, but Bradley Roby, who just joined the Eagles a little over a week ago, could become the answer there after playing well in a limited role last week against the Rams.

The key battle here will be up front. The Eagles’ offensive line and the Jets’ defensive line are among the better respective units in the NFL. That will certainly be seen when the Eagles have 3rd and short or 4th and short and go to their bread-and-butter play, the Tush Push or as fans are now starting to call it, the “Brotherly Shove”. Either way, expect to see that play today and expect the Jets to challenge the Eagles in the trenches.

The trenches also see a key injury for the Eagles as well. Rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who had already made a huge impact this season, is out with an ankle injury. The Eagles still have veteran Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis and Milton Williams among their interior group.

But as expected, this game for the Jets is really going to come down to the play of quarterback Zach Wilson. He has been serviceable over the last two weeks in their close loss to the Chiefs and the win over the Broncos. That’s the bare minimum for him Sunday, but the Jets will need more than that if they’re going to pull the upset.

Overall, the injuries are piling up (again) for the Jets and it may be too much to overcome against the Eagles. They’ll be 2-4 going into their bye but the good news is the schedule eases up after the bye, starting with the Giants.

Prediction: Eagles 31, Jets 16

Eagles to be without two key defenders for Week 6 vs. Jets

The Jets won’t be seeing Darius Slay or Jalen Carter Sunday when they face the Eagles.

The Jets are getting set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday in Week 6 of the NFL season and they will do so not having to face two of the better defenders on Philadelphia.

The Eagles have ruled out cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Jalen Carter for Sunday’s game. Carter suffered a sprained ankle this week in practice while Slay has a knee injury. Both are likely to be back next week when the Eagles host the Miami Dolphins.

The Jets catch a little bit of a break there, but the Eagles still have one of the deeper defensive rosters in the league. Still, not having Slay and Carter will sting a bit for the Eagles. Josh Jobe could slide for Slay opposite James Bradberry while Fletcher Cox and Jordan Davis will be among those up front for the Eagles.

The Jets still have a good challenge in front of them, but it got just a tad easier now that they won’t see Slay or Carter.

Jets plan to give Eagles ‘11 kisses’ if they attempt ‘Brotherly Shove’

The Jets plan to give Eagles ‘11 kisses’ if they want to try and attempt their famous ‘Brotherly Shove’ play on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles have become famous (some may say infamous) for their short-yardage play that has become very successful for them.

The “tush push” — fans have also started calling the play “Brotherly Shove” — has become a staple of the Eagles’ offense. If they get to third or fourth and short, they’re lining up tight, quarterback Jalen Hurts will sneak the football up the middle and get some help from those behind him.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh is certainly going to be prepared for that play when they host the Eagles on Sunday. Saleh said his team just has to be disciplined and prepared for the when the play comes, and be ready to give “11 kisses” on the play.

“Whether they get it, we’re going to do our best to try to stop it,” Saleh said. “The quarterback’s got his, and they do a lot of stuff off it too. They got reverses, they got pop passes, they got stretch plays. They do a lot, so you got to be sound, you got to be disciplined. So, we’ll do our best in that regard, but if the quarterback carries the ball, we got to give him  eleven kisses and figure out a way to do that.”

The Eagles are 13 of 16 on such plays, converting for either a first down or a touchdown, according to ESPN Stats and Information.

The Jets usually tend to have a disciplined defense and having Quinnen Williams up front to help push the offensive line back never hurts. The Eagles have one of the best offensive lines in the entire league which is why they’ve been so successful on the play. The Jets will be ready for the play if need be, which will almost certainly happen. If they play their cards right, the Eagles will be kissing their undefeated season goodbye.
