Eagles Tush Push Secures Preseason Win

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and most of the starting lineup for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles took a night off. The Eagles used their contentious short-yardage play, the tush push, to help them beat the Cincinnati Bengals 34-27 in the preseason opener for both teams. Without Hurts in the lineup, quarterback Tanner McKee got a helpful shove for a score. McKee, a sixth-round pick out of Stanford, played into the second half and finished 20 of 25 for 252 yards and two touchdown passes. The Eagles remain the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl.
