The Eagles logged yet another uneven performance this preseason in an 18-18 tie to the visiting Cleveland Browns at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday night to remain winless so far this summer.
The record is irrelevant. What is relevant is how woeful back-up quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Eagles’ second offense looked in the first half. They should have taken a cue from Bruce Springsteen and called out sick.
“I was sloppy, I could do a better job of getting our guys operating cleaner and more efficiently,” said Mariota, taking accountability in assessing his performance.
