00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - DRS, we start in New York, or better yet, New Jersey.
00:06 MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey,
00:09 the Jets and the Eagles.
00:11 Philadelphia DRS, it wasn't pretty,
00:13 but seemed as though in the final two minutes of the game,
00:15 they would run out the clock and maybe, just maybe,
00:18 New York would have an opportunity
00:20 with about 30 seconds left to drive the length of the field
00:23 and try to knock off the Eagles.
00:25 And then after the two minute warning,
00:27 the Philadelphia Eagles, when the Jets had no timeouts,
00:30 decided to throw the football.
00:32 Jalen Hurts was intercepted for the third time in the game,
00:36 a couple of plays later,
00:37 Brees Hall runs it into the end zone.
00:39 The defense holds on on the other side,
00:42 stifling Philadelphia.
00:43 And Donnie, as you saw there, the Jets win 20 to 14,
00:47 outright as a seven point underdog,
00:49 handing Philly its first loss of the year.
00:52 - It's amazing that the Eagles lost this football game,
00:55 but it's the NFL, and if you don't play well,
00:56 you're going to get beat specifically on the road.
00:58 Let's forget about the 14 to three lead
01:00 the Philadelphia Eagles had on the New York Jets.
01:02 Let's forget about until the last play of the game
01:05 for the Jets, where Brees Hall runs it in for a touchdown,
01:07 where the Eagles let him score and rightfully so.
01:09 I can't believe that they even ran that football in.
01:11 That was hilarious to begin with.
01:12 But having said that here,
01:14 no touchdowns on the board for the Jets here.
01:17 Just field goals.
01:18 That should be enough to win.
01:19 Zach Wilson, 186 yards, no touchdown passes,
01:22 was sacked five times.
01:24 That should be good enough for the win.
01:25 But you sort of saw it coming late in the game.
01:27 Forget about the missed field goal from Jake Elliott
01:28 from 37 yards with no wind blowing,
01:30 something that he never does and misses.
01:32 He missed that one there.
01:33 I want to focus on the last drive,
01:35 not the one that actually was the Eagles got the football
01:37 back to try to win the football game,
01:39 where they actually were down.
01:40 When they had the lead, you get a first down here
01:42 and you say to yourself, okay,
01:43 the goal for the Philadelphia Eagles
01:45 is to get one more first down.
01:46 Because then it doesn't matter about the two minute warning,
01:48 the two timeouts, or anything,
01:50 the Philadelphia Eagles will win.
01:51 Well, here's what you don't do as an offensive coordinator
01:53 with your game plan.
01:54 Run the football directly into the middle of the line
01:56 two times for one yard, and then go, watch this,
01:58 we're going to pass on third and long,
02:00 where you can drop back and everybody knows
02:02 you're probably going to pass the football.
02:04 You know when you attack, Ben, on first and second down,
02:06 when they go, we're going to load the box with nine guys,
02:08 because we know you're running,
02:10 play action fake with a mobile quarterback
02:11 who rolls out of the pocket with a chance to throw
02:14 and/or run to keep the ball and say, you know what,
02:17 seven yard play, eight yard play, first down,
02:18 or I'm going to keep it myself for a two yard game
02:20 to keep the clock running.
02:21 And also, a quarterback that you expect big things from
02:24 with the massive contract you played so well last year,
02:27 protecting the football.
02:28 One of the worst interceptions that you will see.
02:30 You have to know at that point,
02:32 even if the pass rush is bearing down on you
02:35 and nobody is open, what are you supposed to do?
02:37 Take the sack, because it's a 10 second play.
02:41 You're going to get 40 seconds run off the clock.
02:43 You're going to punt the Jets down to the 20.
02:44 They're going to have roughly 45 seconds left
02:47 to drive the length of the field
02:48 and try to get a field goal with no timeouts.
02:50 You know that wasn't happening here.
02:51 Jalen Hurts and the offensive coordinator,
02:54 a disastrous finish to the game for me, Ben.
02:57 (upbeat music)
02:59 (bells chiming)
