Tommy DeVito throws TD pass as Patriots edge Eagles in preseason

In a preseason matchup on Saturday night, the New England Patriots narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21. Patriots quarterback Tommy DeVito completed a 69-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Williams. The game was marked by an injury to Eagles running back Ja’Quinden Jackson, who was taken off the field in an ambulance after colliding on the opening kickoff. Tanner McKee threw two touchdown passes for the Eagles, while the Patriots also had a strong performance from Behren Morton, who led a late scoring drive. Both teams rested many of their starters following joint practices earlier in the week.
