2. Cooper Rush Interception 2 of 3

None of Rush’s three interceptions were good by any means. Neither was the fact that the Eagles defended 12 of his passes.  However, this pick was just one of Rush’s worst passes on the night. Another example of him not even being close to his target.

He even got trolled by Pro Football Focus that he was intending his pass for Darius Slay. To be fair, it did look like it was intended more for Slay than Gallup.

Not only did this once again give the Eagles the ball back after being already up 17-0, but it also marked the team’s fourth failed third down attempt of the first half. This is really when people started to lose faith in Rush. There’s a difference between not being strong enough to beat an undefeated team but doing your best and blatantly throwing passes way off target that you have no business throwing.
