The Philadelphia Eagles came into the MetLife as severe underdogs..but two quarters in and one of the leagues elite Defenses are 24-7 down.
The Eagles will get the ball to start the second half..perhaps a worrying thought for the Jets who suffered an 89 yard punt return from Darren Sproles earlier in the game.

The Eagles continued the assault and despite some more dropped passes, it was Sam Bradford finding Ryan Matthews on a wheel route to add the Eagles second touchdown of the day.

But that came after this strange play by Brandon Marshall.
