Head coach Chip Kelly spoke with reporters on Monday. He discussed why the offense was explosive in Sunday's game, the play of the offensive line and the team's schedule this week as it prepares for Monday Night Football against the Giants ...
On why the offense found success:
Coach Kelly: We just blocked better in the running game. It all starts with us being able to run the football. pic.twitter.com/gV2CqL06G6

Kelly: We ran the ball outside more than any other game this year.

Kelly: We ran the same (run) plays that we always did. We just executed.

Coach Kelly: It seems like Sam Bradford really gets settled in the second half. Statistically, he's been better. pic.twitter.com/OtoR5G053D

Coach Kelly: Caleb Sturgis did a nice job. Hit the ball well, starting to get more comfortable.

Coach Kelly: Josh Huff is an extremely dynamic player. Great with the ball in his hands. An extremely tough player. He can do it all.

Kelly: Josh Huff is an extremely dynamic player. He's really good with the ball in his hands. Extremely tough, one of the better blockers

Kelly: When we clean up the drops, we can be an even more explosive offense.

On the offensive line:
Kelly: We thought Jason Kelce graded out very well and played very well. He played at a high level vs. Washington as well

Kelly: Peters and Johnson played very well, especially in light of the injuries.

On Fletcher Cox:
Coach Kelly: Fletcher Cox has been a disruptive force since we got here as a staff. Yesterday it all came together. pic.twitter.com/gmUbmoZzpO

On the defense overall:
Kelly: We gave up too many X-plays on defense. The one to Snead hurt us. We've got to really clean that up.

On Jordan Hicks:
Kelly: We thought we got a steal in the third round (with Jordan Hicks).

Coach Kelly on @JordanHicks: We thought we had a steal in the third round. He's what we thought he would be coming into the year.

On the team's schedule this week:
Kelly said that the #Eagles players will come in on Wednesday and then it's a normal week. Extra day gives coaches more time to watch tape
