The Eagles trail the Patriots 19-0 at the half, and the score is indicative of a team that benched their starting quarterback due to an early afternoon illness.
Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon sat his starting defensive line along with Darius Slay, and the performance left a ton to be desired. The Eagles were gashed by the Patriots through the air and on the ground.
On offense, two early turnovers (Fum/INT) put Philadelphia in an early hole as well. Miles Sanders saw his first action of the preseason, carrying the ball twice for 13-yards. A week after scoring a 79-yard touchdown through the air, Quez Watkins was held without a catch in the first half.
Here are five other takeaways.
