  • Joe Milton delivered his best outing of the summer, going 10-of-18 for 132 yards with a rushing score and a 29-yard touchdown pass while leading scoring drives on the first two possessions.
  • Rookie running back Jaydon Blue scored in his preseason debut before an injury scare left his status to be determined.
  • Kicker Brandon Aubrey drilled a 64-yard field goal to close the first half, underscoring long-range special-teams upside.
  • Edge rusher James Houston flashed again to strengthen his 53-man roster case, and rookie linebacker Shemar James recorded an interception.
  • Concerns lingered with repeated penalties, including one that nullified a Troy Pride interception, and defensive tackle Mazi Smith struggled, putting his standing under scrutiny.
