Eagles vs. Jets

Jets starting QB Mark Sanchez will play one series. Eagles QB Michael Vick will play in the second half and get extended time. Calvin Pace is one Jets regular who will see a good amount of playing time because he is about to serve a four-game drug suspension.

Philadelphia will not use their starters. Kevin Kolb gets the start at QB. In addition to Vick, A.J. Feeley will get time in the second half. Jeremy Maclin and Brandon Gibson start at WR.
