MARQUEE MATCHUP

The Eagles’ offensive line vs. the Jets’ defensive line

These two units got to know each other a little bit during the summer when the Jets and Eagles had joint practices in Florham Park. It was a fun battle to watch then, and it should be again on Sunday.

The Eagles come into this game with the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL, averaging 157.9 yards per game. They have rushed for 1,078 yards since Week 8 and have produced 175 yards or more rushing in five straight games for the first time since 1950. They have gone over 200 yards four times in that stretch.

Tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata are two of the best in football and center Jason Kelce has come to define Philadelphia.

“They’re very talented,” Jets head coach Robert Saleh said. “It’s probably the most talented O-line we’ll be facing this year. Their O-line coach [Jeff Stoutland] is one of the best in the business also, and it’s a challenge for sure.”

The Jets’ defensive line played a great game last week in Houston. John Franklin-Myers led the way with two sacks and an interception, but the overall unit did a good job of stopping the run (96 yards) and pressuring the passer (five sacks) in the win.
