Oh-and-12. Not a typo. Not a mistake. Not a goof.
Not a typo. Not a mistake. Not a goof. The Jets have played the Eagles 12 times since 1973. They have lost to them 12 times since 1973. Most of those games haven’t been especially close, even in years when there wasn’t especially much difference between the two teams.Here is the part where Jets players — as they should — will loudly explain that they had nothing to do with that 0-for-12, and it’s true.
The other 10? Take a run through the all-time Jets rosters. Somehow the Jets have only played the Eagles 12 times . The only non-expansion team they’ve played less is the Cardinals .Luke Falk, who started two games in his career, quarterbacked the Jets in their loss against the Eagles in 2019.They almost did it the first time they played. That was Dec. 9, 1973, a miserable day in Philadelphia, rain pounding old Veterans Stadium.
It’s funny, too. New York and Philadelphia are natural rivals geographically anyway, and even though Philly has one primary enemy among the New York teams in every sport, there’s enough enmity to share. Baseball? The Phillies and Mets are a combustible mix year after year, but while those create the harder feelings the Phillies and Yankees have actually twice battled for a World Series 59 years apart, in 1950 and 2009.
