Kyle McCord led Philadelphia on five scoring drives, Montrell Johnson had a 15-yard touchdown run and the Eagles held on for a 19-17 victory over the New York Jets in a mostly sluggish preseason matchup of backups Friday night.
Well, at least until the final quarter. And then things finally got a bit entertaining.
With the Jets trailing 19-3, Adrian Martinez directed New York to touchdowns on consecutive drives, including Donovan Edwards' 1-yard run with 3:07 left that made it 19-17.
Looking to tie, first-year head coach Aaron Glenn went for a 2-point conversion for the second straight score, but Edwards was stood up at the goal line — the play was reviewed and the call on the field was upheld.
