No, the Eagles’ head coach likely expected his team to be a perfect 4-0, first in the league in scoring and close to the top 10 in defense. After all, he’s Chip Kelly, and he’s experienced nothing but success…

View image | gettyimages.com You couldn’t have scripted a more perfect scenario for new Eagles running back DeMarco Murray late in the fourth quarter of the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Trailing 24-23, the Eagles faced a 4th and 1 from Atlanta’s 26-yard-line with just under three minutes remaining.

And you’d have a hard time scripting a worse start for Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay, as his first pass was returned for an interception touchdown.
