He started eight games previous year after Nick Foles went down with a broken collarbone and had 11 interceptions and three lost fumbles.

Bradford left the Eagles’ loss to the Dolphins midway through the third quarter with both a concussion and a shoulder injury.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford is expected to miss at least one game and possibly two, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. That’s the best-case scenario.
“Neville [Hewitt] played a ton of reps between special teams and defense”, Campbell said. But I didn’t meet with the trainers, and won’t until after this.
Oh yeah, I nearly forgot, they’ll have to do it without Sam Bradford.
Philadelphia radio personality Howard Eskin reported after the game that Bradford iterated that he was having trouble remembering what had occurred in the first half of Sunday’s contest, a telling signal that the head injury may be more critical than originally suspected.
Sanchez once again cost the Eagles against the Dolphins, throwing an interception at Miami’s 9-yard line late in the fourth quarter.
The Miami Dolphins scored the game-winning points on a deflected pass in the fourth quarter as they overcame an early deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-19 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
For a while, Sanchez was fine, running the hurry-up with confidence, squeezing the Birds into field goal range and narrowing the difference to one point with 10:20 left. “But when you do get a chance to play, you have to make the most of it. And that’s what I was trying to do”. The throw he made to Zach Ertz … where he avoided the rush, stepped up the pocket, that was a good play. He came underneath and he made a real good pass to [Brent] Celek.
During a press conference on Monday, Eagles coach Chip Kelly wouldn’t confirm whether or not Sanchez would be starting his team’s next two games. Austin looked the wrong way on Sanchez’s first pass. He said that he’s been bad this year and I would agree. Kelly is still very confident in Bradford’s ability and Sanchez simply isn’t that good of a quarterback.
NOTES: Running back Ryan Mathews left the game in the second half with a concussion. Sam was able to walk off the field as Sanchez hurriedly warmed up.
Dorenbos will keep the job, per Kelly.
“Those aren’t excuses but what we really have to understand is how important each play is when you’re out there and the attention to detail and doing the little things right”, Kelly said.
Sometimes there’s a blind arrogance to Kelly that implies, “My play calls are genius, the players just need to execute them”. “We have to clean that up”.
Suh had one of his best games since joining the Dolphins (4-5).

Hey, the missed blocks and bad snaps that contributed to Sunday’s 20-19 loss are not the coach’s fault. Clearly, if you still believe Sanchez can run this offense well, you’re seeing something I’m not. Would it change the way the game was played? And this game he didn’t play the way Jason expects himself to play, and we understand that.
