After Cody Kessler left the Jaguars game early with a concussion, Thorson was forced into playing the rest of the night.Thorson responded with an unspectacular performance, which is actually a good thing! He looked calm Sidney Jones Jerseys 2019 , decisive and accurate. His touchdown pass was a bit of a lob, but it came on fourth down against a blitz, so you gotta love the kid’s chutzpah. For him to follow up a 0.0 passer rating game with what he did last night should give the staff confidence in him as a developmental starter. Whether he’s ready to be the number two quarterback is still very much up in the air as Cody Kessler and Nate Sudfeld recover from their injuries. The long game with Thorson, at this point, has a glimmer of hope on the horizon.Andre DillardAndre Dillard had another night with few mistakes. Folks tried laying blame on Dillard for the hit that took Kessler out of the fame, but Dillard was clearly doing his job by squeezing down to block a blitzing linebacker. Dillard continues to be solid while impressing with his physical tools.Miles SandersDillard took part in a collective offensive line performance for the Eagles that paved the way for Miles Sanders and co. all game. Sanders had exciting 12 and 16 yard runs where the line opened a huge gap for the rookie and Sanders shaked and baked his way down field. Albeit he had six carries Avonte Maddox Jerseys 2019 , but Sanders showed off wiggle and some hard running. He looks like he’s on a different level than any other Eagles back.JJ Arcega-WhitesideJJ Arcega-Whiteside has been *okay* so far this preseason and is still clearly getting settled into NFL speed. What is notable is that Arcega-Whiteside has been targeted 11 times through two games, seven of those coming last night. It’s clear that the coaches and quarterbacks want to get him the ball, but he will need to start doing more with those opportunities.Shareef MillerOn the defensive side of the ball, Eagles newcomer and third year player Daeshon Hall is making a lot of noise and overshadowing quietly impressive rookie preseasons. Shareef Miller continues to show a lot of promise. He had another sack last night when he spun out of a block and brought down the quarterback! Miller continues looking quick off the ball and has played with an impressive motor. This is encouraging for a team looking for young outside pass rushing talent, but the question remains if he can overtake a Daeshon Hall for a roster spot. T.J. EdwardsAlso on the defensive side, undrafted free agent T.J. Edwards looked really solid last night. Edwards looked great coming downhill against the run. The team needs depth at linebacker and Edwards is playing himself into a roster spot....As the team heads into their “dress rehearsal” game next week Black Dallas Goedert Jerseys , they have to be happy with how their raft class has performed so far. It will be notable as to which rookies are heavily featured with the starters for the upcoming preseason game. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Just call him Nicky Numbers.Nick Foles is a backup quarterback in Philadelphia but he’s one of the most clutch postseason players in NFL history and his stats prove it.Foles has won four straight playoff games, leading the Eagles on game-winning drives in the fourth quarter in the Super Bowl last February and in a 16-15 victory at Chicago in a wild-card game last week.He has the best passer rating (105.2) and highest completion percentage (69.8 percent) of any quarterback in postseason history with at least 150 attempts. Foles is 125 of 179 for 1,432 yards, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Two of those picks came against the Bears when Foles played with injured ribs and seemed to have trouble following through on his passes. Still, he tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Golden Tate on fourth down with 56 seconds remaining.Foles also has the best passer rating (146.5) on third and fourth downs in postseason history, completing 40 of 52 passes for 522 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions in five career playoff games.And Dallas Goedert Jerseys 2019 , he has a TD reception on the “Philly Special” play against the Patriots.Here’s a look inside more numbers heading into the divisional round of the playoffs:SIX SEED MAGIC: The Eagles and the Colts are trying to become only the third No. 6 seed to win a Super Bowl, joining the 2005 Steelers and 2010 Packers.
