Philadelphia Eagles: 5 takeaways from loss to Cleveland Browns in preseason

5. Eagles fail to score a single point

Yes, Philadelphia entered this meeting with Cleveland with a few questions on the offensive side of the football, but nobody expected the unit to look this bad against the Browns. It’s one thing to have an off night while numerous star players are resting due to injuries or simply just trying to avoid one, but seeing the Eagles fail to score a single point agains the Browns can only be described as embarrassing.

Even more frustrating, Philadelphia had plenty of opportunities in which they could have converted a field goal or earned a trip into the end zone, only to come up short each time. All of a sudden, the Eagles head into their final week of preseason with tons of concerns on offense, and the worst thing is the starters aren’t even going to play next Thursday to help make up for Week 3.

Getting shutout, whether it’s in the preseason or regular season, leaves an awful feeling in the stomach of any player, and Philadelphia has plenty to think about from now until next week when they take on the New York Jets. With 34 points combined over the first three games, this Eagles’ offense has been one of the biggest disappointments of the preseason, injuries or not.
