Overview

  • Philadelphia managed just 88 yards on 44 plays in a 22-13 workout loss that saw the Browns outgain the Eagles by 243 yards.
  • Starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson went 3-for-4 for eight net passing yards before rookie Kyle McCord entered in relief and led a seven-play, 31-yard touchdown drive.
  • Andrew Mukuba forced two first-half turnovers including a 75-yard pick-six and a fumble recovery before exiting briefly with a heat-related issue.
  • Left-guard snaps were split between Brett Toth and Drew Kendall amid uncertainty over Landon Dickerson’s return, and cornerback rotations have failed to produce a clear No. 2 starter.
  • The pass rush was inconsistent overall but delivered flashes of pressure and a sack from Azeez Ojulari alongside notable inside rushes by Ty Robinson and Josh Uche.
