Summary
Eight drives from Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee produced 0 points, 77 net yards and just two first downs in Philadelphia’s preseason loss at Baltimore.
Dalton went 3-for-6 for 25 yards and McKee 6-for-10 for 35, with both citing penalties, negative plays and missed routine execution for the offense’s failure to find rhythm.
Cole Payton, a fifth-round rookie not in the No. 2 competition, supplied the Eagles’ only spark with 45 rushing yards, 37 passing yards and a late touchdown drive.
Nick Sirianni said the backup job behind Jalen Hurts remains undecided despite Dalton’s start, while the flat outing also put an unhelpful spotlight on Sean Mannion’s debut as offensive coordinator.
