NFL Preseason Week 2 Recap: Philadelphia Eagles 14, New England Patriots 13

All eyes were again on New England Patriots first-round quarterback Drake Maye (although the Philadelphia Eagles‘ Tanner McKee may have stolen the show).

Maye had a solid yet quiet Week 1 showing but gave onlookers a little more to talk about in this game — a 14-13 loss to the Eagles. The North Carolina product made one big-time throw — a deep shot to fellow rookie Javon Baker that fell incomplete — and found the endzone with his legs.

On the Eagles' side, cornerback Quinyon Mitchell looked solid for a second straight week and the linebacker corps appears ready to do battle in the regular season. And, of course, McKee made his case for the QB2 role ahead of Kenny Pickett.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Eagles interior defender PJ Mustipher, a 2023 undrafted free agent, flashed in run defense and pass rush against the Patriots. He played 20 snaps overall and came away with several positively graded run-defense plays and two quarterback pressures.

Mustipher played all of 42 regular-season snaps last year with the Saints but could sneak his way onto this roster with another strong effort in preseason Week 3.
