The NFL just wrapped up week two of the preseason and had a few games played on Sunday. Let’s break down the biggest takeaways from each game and each team.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Cleveland Browns
The Eagles have tremendous depth at key offensive pieces, with the Eagles playing backups last night you’d figure the offense would look sorta clunky but no, the Eagles offense looked stout with key backups like Gardener Minshew, Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell looking great pushing the offense down the field and accumulating yards without hesitancy.
The Browns didn’t have much to cheer on for other than the fact that veteran QB Joshua Dobbs played very well, completing 14-20 passes for 141 yards.
New York Giants vs Cincinnati Bengals
Daniel Jones looked pretty good last night with the second and third stringers, completing 14-16 passes for 116 yards and a nice touchdown. Jones also had his downs throwing multiple passes that were intercepted and almost intercepted.
The Bengals secondary is looking scary, with the Bengals secondary being one of the weaker points on the team last season Cinninati made some big changes with drafting DB Daxton Hill, Allan George and many undrafted free agents, the Bengals are doubling down on defense to help third year QB Joe Burrow.
Baltimore Ravens vs Arizona Cardinals
Baltimore’s tight end room is looking scary. Baltimore is continuing to build a offense around superstar QB Lamar Jackson and newly drafted tight end Isiah Likely is showing promise, Likely last night put on a show finishing with over 100 yards and a touchdown, Likely could really flourish in this tight end based offense especially when Lamar prefers to throw to his tight ends.
Arizona may have a deep RB room, with starting running back Chase Edmonds leaving in free agency to the miami Dolphins, it left the running back core baire but with potential players like Eno Benjamin, Jonathan Ward and Darrall Williams getting praise from head coach Kliff Kinsbury, Arizona might not be in as a bad spot as they thought.
