The injury occurred in the third quarter when Bradford was drilled by Dolphins linebacker Chris McCain, and that forced Bradford out for the remainder of the game. Though Dennis Kelly would recover the ball, the Eagles would not really recover at all. Josh Huff is the Eagles’ emergency quarterback. In the nine games Sanchez played, he threw 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. But last week they were quick to criticize Malcolm Jenkins, and by extension themselves, after the safety elected not to self-report concussion symptoms during a victory in Dallas.

Chip Kelly made the move to acquire Bradford from the St. Louis Rams this past offseason.
Ajayi slipped to the Dolphins at the No. 149 pick due to concerns about missing cartilage in his right knee. Sanchez did not appear to be as efficient as he has been in the past, he threw an interception in the end zone that marked the end of this game.
“I am confident in Mark”, Kelly said.
Sanchez promises to be ready. After all, Sanchez has twice the amount of experience in Chip Kelly’s offense compared to Bradford and it was noticeable Sunday as he had the unit moving a million miles a minute. “For me, I always pride myself on being consistent and that’s where I want to continue to go and strive to be better each and every day”. So I don’t know. It looked like he would get a chance to beat his former team, but Jones’ interception ended the threat.
The Eagles look to capitalize and make it two in a row, while the Dolphins have nothing in mind but to just grab a win after two consecutive losses. He also signed Sanchez to a second contract, this one for two years. I understand the team’s starting kicker is sidelined for the season, but even he was looking more and more like a flash in the pan (despite his injury). “I had food poisoning and that was causing me to throw up”, he said. We’ve got to believe because we can see that the proof is in the pudding, this team isn’t quitting. The way things are going with this team, I have no idea (and yes, I’m serious about that), but that’s beside the point. The mistakes are still there when you win the game.
Asked his favorite Cowboys player during his youth, Campbell said, “I liked Danny White; that was kind of my growing-up era”.
The Birds have seven games remaining, enough to achieve fulfillment. Bradford isn’t likely to lose his job during his absence.
-Why, and I mean why, is Riley Cooper still on this team? It’s a physical game, but at the same time it’s one of the biggest mental battles. I hope Sam is OK. The Fins have gone 3-2 since the coaching change and have shown a new energy on the field, playing hard on defense and smart on offense.
After Bradford was injured, the Dolphins went ahead 20-16 on their next drive.
Early in the fourth quarter the Eagles announced that Bradford’s X-rays had come back negative.
Little details, responsibilities that fall unto the coach to drill into their players, get lost during the course of a game. Should Bradford miss it, Sanchez will start, Kelly indicated.
To put it in perspective, the eight total tackles represented the highest number for a Dolphins defensive tackle since 2007 when Keith Traylor also had eight against the Houston Texans. “That was totally on me”, Tannehill said. “But I think the whole offense was like that”.

For the second year in a row, the Eagles are turning to Mark Sanchez near the midpoint of the season. “So we will do our very best”.
