The Eagles will make the short, familiar trip up the New Jersey Turnpike to face the New York Jets in Week 3. Just over three weeks earlier, the two sides will have met in the same location, but that will have been the preseason finale. This time, it’s for real.
The Jets, under new head coach (and former Eagles defensive coordinator) Todd Bowles, will do their best to do something the Jets have never done before – beat the Eagles in the regular season. The Eagles have come out victorious in each of the nine meetings between the two teams in history, most recently dispatching of the Jets 45-19 in December of 2011.
