NOTES: Foles missed a chance to join Peyton Manning, Steve Young, Kurt Warner and Drew Brees as the only QBs to open the season with four straight 300-yard passing games. ... The Eagles scored twice on special teams for the first time since Nov. 22, 1992, at the New York Giants. It was the first time they scored on special teams in consecutive games since 2000.

Darren Sproles had a career-best 82-yard punt return for a touchdown and Malcolm Jenkins ran an interception 53 yards for a score for the Eagles (3-1). Brad Smith recovered Trey Burton's blocked punt of Andy Lee for a TD.

"When you get a defensive score, the chances of you winning the game skyrockets," Jenkins said. "If we talk about those three scores on defense and special teams, statistically 100 percent of the time that team is going to win. But playing on the road against a team like that, we just needed one more play,Wholesale Football Jerseys, and we didn't get it."
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Nick Foles and one of the NFL's best offenses needed a touchdown to preserve Philadelphia's unbeaten record on a day its defense and special teams more than did their parts.
"There are going to be days when two of your phases are playing well and you just hope they can bail out the other one," Kelly said. "We just didn't play well enough on offense. Offensively, we didn't do anything."
"We just didn't execute — it's as simple as that," Foles said. "I'm not going to break it down or anything. In that situation, I have to give the guys an opportunity to make a play, and I didn't do that."
But on San Francisco's next series, Kaepernick threw right to Jenkins, and the safety broke three tackles on the way to the end zone.
But Foles threw incomplete on back-to-back passes from the 1-yard line after the two-minute warning, and he was intercepted on a final, last-ditch drive as the Eagles lost 26-21 to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
LeSean McCoy was limited to 17 yards on 10 carries,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, with his longest run just 5 yards.

On third-and-14,Air Max 97 Womens, he completed a 22-yard pass to a diving Jeremy Maclin on the right sideline.

Colin Kaepernick threw an off-balance 55-yard touchdown pass to Frank Gore and also connected with Stevie Johnson. Phil Dawson kicked four field goals — two of at least 46 yards. Kaepernick finished 17 for 30 for 218 yards, two TDs and four sacks.
But the Eagles couldn't pull off the second-half magic that had carried them in their three wins,NFL Jerseys Cheap, and the drive ended a yard short of the end zone.
Those plays were for naught.
The 49ers won their first game at new Levi's Stadium, where thousands of fans skipped out at halftime. |
