“That’s a really good football team we played,” Eagles QB Mark Sanchez said, per ESPN. “They played really well in their zone and their man [coverage]. They took away a lot of opportunities. They put us in a lot of third-and-long situations that made it difficult. They have a sound system with great players in every spot.”
Tight end Zach Ertz concurred with his quarterback. “I like to think I can get open regardless of how good a guy is, but they were better than us [Sunday] and eliminated some things.”
Even coach Chip Kelly got in on the act, reserving his biggest praise for All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman.
“I think Richard is the best corner in the league right now,” Kelly said. “He’s proven it. I don’t think we did a good enough job from a protection standpoint for [Sanchez], but Richard played really, really well.”
