The Eagles’ defense allowed 15 first downs, 9-16 on third downs, and 331 total yards of offense to Cleveland in a 22-13 preseason loss at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday afternoon. With Jalen Hurts and every key starter on offense sitting out, Philadelphia accounted for 88 yards of total offense and 55 yards through the air as an anemic offensive performance was highlighted by a dismal outing from a backup offensive line with several looming roster decisions.

It wasn’t all bad, as Jihaad Campbell recorded his first career NFL sack, and Andrew Mukuba played a role in two key turnovers, including a 75-yard interception return for a touchdown off an ugly Dillon Gabriel pass attempt.
