FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Eagles fell to the Patriots, 37-20, Thursday night in their second preseason game. Here’s what we learned:
1. The Eagles have work to do, and they didn’t come out healthy. It’s just the preseason. It’s just the preseason. It’s just the preseason. Say it over and over again. For the second straight week, Doug Pederson’s troops played sloppy football on both sides of the ball and throughout the lineup. The Eagles turned the ball over twice, committed nine penalties, and had various missed blocks and tackles. The preseason is for working out kinks, but they’re running out of time and now suddenly players.
