As tough as it was to see the Eagles fall on Sunday, there were some players who stood out ...
- Akeem Jordan had an interception for the second game in a row. The last Eagles linebacker with two picks in a season? Ike Reese in 2004. Jordan also had a couple of tackles for loss. He is developing into a solid playmaker.
- Tight end Brent Celek had a great game. He led the team with eight catches for 104 yards. He showed great awareness of where he needed to go to get a first down. He also was darn near impossible to tackle. Did the Saints ever cleanly put him on the ground?
- Jason Avant had a great game in the slot. He moved the chains all day long and got his first touchdown of the year.
- LeSean McCoy showed excellent burst on some of his runs. He is really effective on the shotgun draw play we used.
- Sean Jones played well on special teams. He led us with three tackles in kick coverage. Jones is too talented not to get on the field and contribute in some way.
