Takeaways and observations from Eagles 21-20 preseason win over Browns

Takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia Eagles’ 21-20 preseason win over Cleveland Browns

The Eagles wrapped up two days of joint practices in Ohio Sunday with a 21-20 win over the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

With Jalen Hurts, Deshaun Watson, and Jacoby Brissett watching from the sidelines, Philadelphia’s backup quarterback Gardner Minshew and Browns third-string quarterback Josh Dobbs provided us with the first half of exciting and efficient quarterback play.

Both offenses were effective, while the Eagles’ second-team defense was gashed by a Browns’ rushing attack that found success on the edge and with cutback lanes in both halves of football.

Dobbs finished 14 of 20 for 141 yards before Josh Rosen replaced him in the third quarter for the Browns, while Minshew had similar numbers, going 14 of 17 passing for 142 yards before Reid Sinnett took over in the third quarter.

With the Eagles headed to Miami for two days of joint practice, here are takeaways and observations from Sunday’s win.
