Vick connected with Celek for a 26-yard TD pass to put Philadelphia up 14-0. Celek made an outstanding catch on a ball thrown ahead of him. He reached out to tip it with his right hand, corralled it inside the 5 and tumbled into the end zone.
The Eagles extended that lead to 21-0 on Vick's 11-yard TD run early in the second quarter. A roughing-the-passer penalty on Marcus Dixon -- the second time the Jets were flagged for hitting Vick late -- contributed to 15 of Philadelphia's 57 yards on that drive.
Vick scrambled down the left side and dived headfirst, stretching his hand just over the pylon for his first rushing score of the season. He had 10 last year, including one in the playoffs.
Sanchez fumbled when he was hit by Mike Patterson after running on a busted play on New York's next possession. Joselio Hanson recovered at the Jets 21, and McCoy ran in from the 9 to make it 28-0.
But the Jets wouldn't go down easy.
Nick Folk kicked a 39-yard field goal. Dion Lewis fumbled the kickoff, and the Jets started at Philadelphia's 24 after Lankster made his second recovery. Sanchez fired a 25-yard TD pass to Holmes to cut it to 28-10.
Another turnover gave the Jets the ball back. McCoy fumbled at the end of a 12-yard run, and Brodney Pool raced 33 yards with it to the Eagles 27. It was McCoy's first lost fumble in 490 touches, dating to last season.
Philadelphia's defense stiffened and the Jets settled for Folk's 28-yard field goal to get within 28-13.
McCoy's 1-yard TD run in the third quarter broke Van Buren's team records. Van Buren had 18 total TDs and 15 rushing TDs in 1945.
McCoy padded his total with a 33-yard TD run in the fourth quarter that made it 45-13.
