The Philadelphia Eagles' backups played a preseason football game on Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. We laughed, we cried, we're glad it's over. As always, win, lose, or tie, we hand out 10 awards.
1) The 'Still Got It' Award đââď¸: Tanner McKee
McKee has been a preseason stud in each of his first two NFL seasons, and he had another good game Thursday night, going 20 of 25 for 252 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs. Here's a dime to UDFA rookie Darius Cooper:
One incompletion was a good throw that was dropped by Grant Calcaterra, and at least two others were throwaways.
McKee is already a good QB2, and I'm confident he'll be ready if the Eagles need him this season.
If someone called me offering a 2 for Tanner McKee, it would be an easy "No thanks."
2) The 'Ruh Roh' Award đ§: The Eagl
