After months of waiting, the Eagles returned to Lincoln Financial Field with an upgraded roster and growing expectations in the NFC.
In their annual turnpike battle, Philadelphia hosted the New York Jets. It gave glimpses of a high-powered passing offense and an athletic defense capable of causing turnovers and panic in opposing backfields.
The Eagles jumped out to an early 14-0 lead thanks to a Jalen Hurts connection with Dallas Goedert and Kyzir White setting up another score with an early interception of Jets second-year star Zach Wilson.
