Jets worked hard after the interval to make headway into the Eagles advantage, but could only tie the third quarter 19-19. Newcastle didn’t allow Jets to get any closer as they eased further away during the final ten minutes.

Moore’s 30 was supported by 19 from Reggie Jackson and 16 from Andrew Bridge, while Chez Marks with 23 led the Jets reply.
