With so many new parts this year, no one really knew what to expect with Chip Kelly and the Eagles when the preseason started. The team responded by putting up some ridiculous numbers throughout the exhibition slate. Sitting the first game and the preseason finale, starting quarterback Sam Bradford got some much-needed playing time in the two games in between. In just four drives, the newly-acquired veteran completed 13-of-15 passes for 156 yards with three touchdowns. In fact, he led the Eagles to touchdowns in all four of his possessions. Backup quarterback Mark Sanchez also played well, completing 63 percent of his passes with three scores and zero picks.

While DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews didn’t see much action, both showed that they will fit in extremely well in this fast-paced offense. They went for a combined 104 yards and two scores on 22 attempts. This duo should do extremely well with holdover Darren Sproles to form one of the best running back groups in the NFL. In addition to all this, the likes of Jordan Matthews and rookie Nelson Agholor have looked really good during the summer. That’s huge with Jeremy Maclin now catching passes in Kansas City.
