PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles (3-2) smothered the Jets’ third-string quarterback, Luke Falk, and overwhelmed his offense on a day their own quarterback, Carson Wentz, was ordinary.
Wentz threw for 189 yards and one touchdown. Nate Gerry returned an interception for a score, Orlando Scandrick took a strip sack the distance and Philadelphia routed the Jets, 31-6, on Sunday.
Sam Darnold missed his third consecutive game for the Jets (0-4) while he recovers from mononucleosis, so Falk made his second start after opening the season on the practice squad.
Falk threw two interceptions and was sacked nine times before leaving late in the game and being replaced by David Fales, who was re-signed by the Jets on Friday.
