Five takeaways from the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins

The Eagles sat 33 players ahead of Saturday’s preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins, and it showed on the scoreboard as Philadelphia trailed 27-0 at the half.

Gardner Minshew started the contest and went 6-9 for 48-yards before being pulled for Reid Sinnett, while Philadelphia’s reserve-filled defense was gashed to almost 300 total yards from Miami in the first half.

Tua Tagovoiloa and Tyreek Hill started things off early, and the Dolphins’ star receiver finished with 64-yards, including a 51-yard bomb, before exiting the contest.
