Eagles vs. Jets Final Score: Philadelphia beats New York in final preseason game, 14-6

The Philadelphia Eagles finished the fourth and final game of their 2016 preseason schedule with a win on Thursday evening. The Eagles advanced to 4-0 in the preseason by defeating the New York Jets by a final score of 14 to 6. Read on for observations from the game.

Eagles quarterbacks

Chase Daniel: 14 of 22, 131 yards, 6.0 average, 0 TD, 2 INT, 42.0 rating

McLeod Bethel-Thompson: 13 of 16, 82 yards, 5.1 average, 0 TD, 0 INT, 88.0 rating

Daniel's first interception was bad. He threw right at a Jets defender, who deflected the ball into the arms of another opposing player. Daniel got drilled as he threw on his second pick. It was another bad pass right to a Jets linebacker. Daniel didn't have great protection to work with for most of the night, but he struggled.

MBT had a bad fumble after taking off on the run. He was fine enough as a passer.

First half observations

Lane Johnson did not start, as Doug Pederson said he would earlier this week. Johnson didn't play at all.

Mychal Kendricks played the first few defensive series.

Beau Allen blew up a Jets rushing attempt on New York's second offensive play of the game.

Paul Turner was on punt return duty with Kenjon Barner not playing. His first try went for 12 yards.

Chris Pantale dropped two passes.

Marcus Smith did a great job of exploding into the backfield to blow up a run play. Big tackle for loss.

Turner made a few nice catches on Philadelphia's second offensive drive.

JaCorey Shepherd got burned deep by former Temple receiver Robby Anderson for a 44-yard touchdown.

Ed Reynolds got called for taunting after staring down Khiry Robinson while standing over him.

Steven Means forced Christian Hackenberg into an intentional grounding. He's had a great summer.

Turner returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown. He had really good blocking.

71 yards.
TO THE HOUSE!

Paul Turner is making a real case for making the @Eagles squad. #NYJvsPHI https://t.co/FCm41meYVq

Reynolds made a nice tackle to kill a Jets screen play before it had a chance to go anywhere.

Second half observations

Eric Rowe got called for pass interference on a pass deep down the field. Then he recorded a pass breakup after making a big hit.

Aziz Shittu was often disruptive. He blew up a few run plays.

Cedric O'Neal fumbled twice.

Bryan Braman pressured Hackenberg into throwing a really bad pick to Reynolds. The Eagles safety returned the pick 90 yards for a touchdown.

Hackenberg looked pretty bad.

Reynolds almost came up with his second pick six of the night but dropped it. He might not make the Eagles but he could catch on with another team.

Injuries

Tight end M.J. MacFarland left the game with a knee injury and did not return.
