Nobody got hurt. That might be most important thing to come from Eagles preseason opener. Let’s hope we can say the same thing next week when Sam Bradford makes his debut.
I Don’t Get It: No Sam Bradford. I understand why Chip Kelly decided against playing Bradford, and his twice-reconstructed left knee. It’s still disappointing. But after watching Mark Sanchez, we know why Kelly went and got a franchise QB.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to the fans who gave a standing ovation to Tim Tebow when he entered the game in the third quarter. Tebow didn’t disappoint, showing he might be an option for the Birds in goal line situations.
Quote Box: “It’s very humbling, a blessing. I appreciated it.”
