Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots score, summary and team stats for preseason Week 2 - August 16

The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots kick off a slightly unusual Week 2 with no Friday games but more Sunday games than usual.

The former is in the midst of a new era, having lost center Jason Kelce and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox to retirement. However, running back Saquon Barkley has defected from the divisional rival New York Giants to bolster the ground game.

However, that new era is nothing compared to what the Patriots are experiencing. A new head coach/general manager tandem in Jerod Mayo and Eliot Wolf, and a new quarterback situation - both signs of a franchise seeking a new identity after the collapse of its dynasty.

Philadelphia Eagles Preseason Week 2 preview

The Eagles are riding high, having defeated the Baltimore Ravens 16-13 on the road via a buzzer-beating 49-yard field goal by Jake Elliott.

Kenny Pickett was that game's best quarterback, completing 14 of 22 attempts for 89 yards and a touchdown to Will Shipley. Lew Nichols also ran for six once.

For this game, Pickett will very likely be starting again, with Tanner McKee backing him up. But head coach Nick Sirianni may take a page from Andy Reid and bring in Jalen Hurts.

Key Player - Kenny Pickett

Once again, all eyes are on Pickett as he looks to solidify the backup position behind Jalen Hurts. He had felt betrayed when the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson, and another strong performance here will be another step towards solidifying that.

QB: Kenny Pickett

New England Patriots Week 2 preseason preview

This will be the Patriots' first in-game action since trading linebacker Matthew Judon to the Atlanta Falcons yesterday and releasing wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

After playing just one series in Week 1, third-pick rookie Drake Maye is expected to see more snaps. Albert Breer is projecting him to start the second quarter and last until the early part of the third.

Key player - Drake Maye

Maye will play more in this upcoming game, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in an extended game situation.

Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots Preseason Week 2 score

The Eagles racked up their second win of preseason with a 14-13 win despite trailing for a majority of the game. However, we got to see a lot more of Drake Maye this time around after he got just 6 reps in the first preseason game against the Panthers.

Maye showed some poise tonight and led scoring drives on his first two reps. The rookie finished the night completing six of his 11 throws for 47 yards while racking up 15 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Meanwhile, Pickett finished on 11 of 13 passing in the first half for 67 yards. He was also sacked four times.
