Summary
Tanner McKee went 16 of 22 for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns, outplaying Andy Dalton again after Dalton managed just 3 of 10 for 44 yards.
Will Shipley added 56 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries behind a dominant second-string offensive line, strengthening his grip on the Eagles' RB3 job.
Ty Robinson posted 2 sacks and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. added a sack and a key open-field tackle, reinforcing Philadelphia's defensive depth.
Carson Steele caught 6 passes for 84 yards and a touchdown, while edge prospect Weru flashed with a sack and more pressure in only his second football game.
Philadelphia still lost, but the sharper performances marked a clear rebound from last week's lopsided preseason showing in Baltimore ahead of Friday's game against Cincinnati.
