After there were a lot of questions about Chip Kelly and Sam Bradford in Philadelphia this past week, both looked like they were fighting for their jobs in this game as the Eagles soared past the Saints 39-17.

Both quarterbacks had eye popping numbers in this game, as Bradford threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns (also with two interceptions) and Drew Brees threw for 335 yards and a couple scores. But for the first time all season, the Eagles got the production out of DeMarco Murray they were hoping for. The prize free agent running back ran for 83 yards on 20 carries with a touchdown, and Ryan Mathews ran for 73 on eight carries with a score. The Eagles defense did their part as well as they sacked Brees five times and held the Saints to under 100 rushing yards.

New Orleans struck first as Brees hit Ben Watson for a six yard touchdown. In the second quarter the Eagles tied it up as Josh Huff took a Bradford pass 41 yards for the touchdown. A field goal with ten seconds left gave Philadelphia the 10-7 lead going into half.

A field goal by Zach Hocker tied the game at 10 all. From there, it was all Philadelphia. Mathews ran in for a touchdown, then Brent Celek caught a touchdown, but a missed extra point kept it at 23-10 Eagles. Caleb Sturgis made three straight field goals to make it 32-10 and Murray ran for a four yard touchdown to make it 39-10. The rout was on, but Brees hooked up with Cooks as time ran out to make it 39-17.

The Saints committed four turnovers and the Eagles racked up 519 yards and 34 first downs in this one. Even more shocking is that the Eagles won the time of possession at 34:02. The Eagles are known for their quick strike offense, time of possession doesn't matter approach, but they won with ball control in this one.

Surprisingly, the leading receiver in this game was not Brandin Cooks, Jordan Matthews or Zach Ertz. It was Willie Snead of the Saints, who caught six passes for 141 yards. The undrafted rookie from Ball State has caught 16 passes so far this season for 240 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted 11 times by Brees, a career high.

New Orleans is in the cellar of the NFC south, and have a Thursday night game at home against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles are still very much in the crowded NFC east, and will take on the New York Giants at home next week on Monday Night Football in a crucial division game early on in the season.
