The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Baltimore Ravens 24-7 on August 15 during their first preseason game. The game allowed the Eagles to assess players, particularly at quarterback, where rookie Cole Payton outperformed veterans Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee. Payton led the team's only touchdown drive, throwing for 37 yards and rushing for 45. His performance may prompt reevaluation of the quarterback depth chart, particularly with Tanner McKee potentially facing trade talks.
