The Eagles came into Sunday’s game as losers in three of their first four games and it looked like they might be headed down another bad road when quarterback Sam Bradford was intercepted twice in the end zone during the first half of their game against the Saints.

Things turned the other way from that point, though. The Eagles scored twice before the first half came to an end and then scored points on all six of their second half possessions on their way to a 39-17 blowout of New Orleans. After the game, Bradford, who finished 32-of-45 for 333 yards, credited the offensive line with a strong performance and said the team would draw confidence from the outing.

“Yeah. I think after what we were able to do in the preseason, I think everyone had kind of been waiting for this,” Bradford said. “It’s obviously a great feeling to go out there and be able to do that today. And now it’s just something that we have to build on. Obviously, it’s not going to be like this every week. But to know that when we’re clicking and we’re rolling that we can go out and do that, it’s just going to give us confidence now to go out there and do it more often.”

The win leaves the Eagles at 2-3 heading into a Week Five date with the Giants. With the Cowboys and Redskins losing on Sunday, another Eagles win next week would mean no team in the NFC East is better than 3-3 after six weeks and that would be a pretty good place for Philly to find itself given the way the first quarter of the season played out.
