The Eagles narrowly beat the Browns in their second preseason game, but ended up 21-20 at the whistle. There was a big commitment to the run game early on — especially compared to last week — and Nick Sirianni talked about Boston Scott and Kenny Gainwell’s performances. He also spoke to reporters about the long touchdown pass by Reid Sinnett to Devon Allen in the second half.
Sirianni explained his decision to rest the starters, citing two good joint practices against the Browns on Thursday and Friday. He said that they treat those joint practices as controlled games, and have three “games” in four days is a lot on their bodies.
