10 takeaways from Week 3 of the NFL preseason

Sam Bradford finds rhythm, Philadelphia Eagles offense looks unstoppable

Bradford and the Eagles absolutely dominated an over-matched Green Bay Packers defense on Saturday, racking up 39 points in the first half and a total of over 400 yards. For Bradford’s part, he finished the night a perfect 10-of-10 with 121 yards and three scores.

Coming off a torn ACL in each of the past two seasons, there was some concern about whether Bradford would be ready for the regular season. That concern was magnified when he sat out Philadelphia’s preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts. In the two games since, the former St. Louis Rams first-round pick has led the Eagles to four touchdowns in as many drives while completing 13-of-15 passes for a perfect quarterback rating. With the likes of DeMarco Murray, Ryan Mathews, Zach Ertz, Jordan Matthews and Nelson Agholor at his disposal, a healthy Bradford could be primed for a breakout campaign.

Overall, the Eagles are averaging a ridiculous 38.3 points per game. During that very same span, Chip Kelly and Co. are putting up an average of 430 yards and 26 first downs per game. It remains to be seen whether this will translate to regular season success, but it’s safe to say the Eagles offense will be among the most electric in the NFL this year. And in reality, Bradford could be one of the primary reasons for this.
