Eagles Backup QB Battle Heats Up | Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles’ backup QB battle is heating up as Andy Dalton, Tanner McKee, and Cole Payton combined for just 13-of-25 passing in their preseason opener — and it wasn’t enough to impress. With Jalen Hurts sitting this one out, McKee may get the next crack at the starting role, while Payton’s mobility could unlock new offensive wrinkles. The offense needs to find rhythm fast — especially with a run game that barely moved the needle — and the backups must show they can lead, take shots downfield, and make plays. This Patriots matchup is a make-or-break moment for who steps into the No. 2 spot. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
