Eagles News: A night to forget
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: New England Patriots 35, Philadelphia Eagles 0 - PFF
Joe Flacco wasn’t helped by his receivers (three drops), but that wasn’t the only thing holding him back. He took a pair of sacks and registered multiple turnover-worthy plays in a forgettable performance. Nick Mullens’ night wasn’t any better. He actually managed to average negative yards per pass play on his 13 dropbacks, thanks in large part to the three sacks he took. This performance comes just one week after he posted a 31.5 passing grade vs. the Steelers, as well. Mullens and Flacco combined to go 1-for-4 for 10 yards on passes thrown 10 or more yards downfield.
