Daily News | Gardner Minshew and the Eagles offense beat themselves with miscues in a loss to the Saints
A.J. Brown said he tried to get Gardner Minshew’s attention. The ball was going to be coming Brown’s way. It was a play theBut Marshon Lattimore was pressing, and Brown knew it. The New Orleans cornerback hadn’t played since October, but he was about to come back with a bang. Lattimore watched as Minshew took a shotgun snap on second-and-8 from his own 11-yard line, his team trailing by three with 5 minutes, 30 seconds remaining.
On the second series, Minshew handed off to Miles Sanders on first down for a 4-yard gain, then Sanders ran on second down for 5 more yards. On third-and-1, Minshew was sacked by Cam Jordan, who was a tough assignment for reserve tackle Jack Driscoll, who was filling in for Johnson. When Sanders took handoffs and ran for 9 and 14 yards on consecutive plays to open the second half, Eagles fans playfully cheered.
Kelce was critical of his own play and said he missed a lot of assignments. While Minshew wasn’t great filling in for the second consecutive week for the injured Jalen Hurts, the offense — in particular the offensive line — also beat itself. At one point, the Eagles had three false starts on one drive, including one on Kelce, who was later penalized on an illegal man downfield flag on a play that would have had the offense at midfield trailing by only three early in the fourth quarter.
