Story: Largest Lead ever held by the Jets (21 points)

Although the Eagles have won all 10 meetings against the Jets, on October 3, 1993, (my 1st game that I was able to watch once out of the Navy) the Jets jumped out to a 21-0 lead by 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter led by Jets QB Boomer Esiason. Although (NFL Offensive Player of the Month in September) Randall Cunningham started the game, he was hurt in the game (fractured leg, lost for the season) and on came back up Bubby Brister. By the beginning of the 4th quarter the Eagles had tied it up at 28. After a 3 and out by the Jets, a good punt had the Eagles pinned on the 1 yard line. The next play from scrimmage, Bubby Brister went back to pass and to avoid the rush threw the ball away from inside the end zone. The call was Intentional Grounding in the End Zone and a Safety awarded to the Jets. The ensuing drive had Boomer bringing the Jets down the field to the Eagle 10. The next pass for Boomer would be picked off by Eric Allen and returned 94 yards for a touchdown. That score would be the game winner keeping the Eagles undefeated at 4-0.
Final Score: Eagles 35 Jets 30
