The Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up the first game of the preseason against the Tennessee Titans. Here’s how the night went…
On Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Tennessee Titans at home for the first week of the preseason. As expected, the Eagles didn’t suit up a good chunk of their starters for apparent purposes. Guys such as Carson Wentz, DeSean Jackson, Malcolm Jenkins, etc. were not available for the team in order to avoid injuries.
The game started off pretty competitive as the Eagles backups had a solid showing on both sides of the ball for the first few drives. Once those guys got their feet wet though, Doug Pederson pulled the guys who started the game off, and things went South for the Birds.
All in all, the Eagles didn’t have a promising showing from their roster hopefuls at the back end of the depth chart. They ended up catching a beating from the Titans and lost at home with a final score of 27-10. While there was a ton to complain about, there was also a handful of positives as well, which didn’t make the game as bad as the scoreboard seemed. Here are nine observations from the Eagles preseason debut on Thursday night.
