There were many positive takeaways from the Philadelphia Eagles' 34-27 win against the Cincinnati Bengals in Thursday's preseason opener, but the negatives were just as prominent.

Most notably, the critical CB2 battle between Kelee Ringo and Adoree' Jackson looks a whole lot more like a pillow fight than a bare-knuckle brawl.

The Bengals trotted out their starting offense in the first quarter, and Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins made Philadelphia's cornerbacks look like they didn't belong on the same field. On the second drive of the game, Chase dusted Ringo on a simple out route, made one cut to the inside and coasted to a 36-yard touchdown.

It was almost as if Chase was running at half speed, and Ringo didn't manage to lay a finger on him.
