Philadelphia, Pa. - It didn’t take long Sunday for the Eagles to avenge their 33-point defeat at Green Bay last week.
In fact, it took exactly 13 seconds.
Rookie Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff for 107 yards and a touchdown, for what became the longest scoring return in Eagles history, as they hold a 17-0 lead over the Tennessee Titans this afternoon.
After a Titans three-and-out that ended with Connor Barwin’s 9th sack this season, Mark Sanchez led the home side 51 yards to take the two score lead. LeSean McCoy took a handoff right and cut left for a 15 yard charge to the Titans 40. McCoy rushed again for 12 yards to the 7, and on 2nd-and-Goal Darren Sproles finished the job, rushing over left end from 4 yards and the score.
Sanchez is 8-of-14 for 77 yards passing. His 2nd-and-8 pass from the Eagles 7 was intercepted by Brandon Ghee after the corner stepped in front of Riley Cooper to the Eagles 30.
Cody Parkey kicked from 32 yards to end an Eagles drive with three-minutes remaining in the period after Philly got to the Titans 9 on a pass-interference call against Michael Griffin. Jurrell Casey featured on the first two goal-to-go plays, sacking Mark Sanchez for 7 yards and stuffing LeSean McCoy for 2 more. The 3rd-and-Goal pass for Jordan Matthews on the goal-line fell incomplete after Daimion Stafford secured a hit on the receiver that knocked the ball from his grasp.
After out-gaining Tennessee 51 to -1 halfway through the quarter, the Eagles finished fifteen minutes of play with 108 yards to the Titans 12.
