If you’re feeling a certain crispness in the air, it’s probably because NFL football has returned!

Okay, NFL preseason football… but… ya know… football is football. Thursday night delivered three games as the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Indianapolis Colts, the Philadelphia Eagles were victorious over the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders game ended in a 23-23 tie.

The Eagles’ backups showcased some starting talent as QB 2 Tanner McKee torched Cincy’s defense, going 20-25 with two TDs and adding a rushing touchdown. Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase were already in midseason form, with Burrow completing nine out of ten passes and throwing for two TDs, and Chase adding 77 yards on four receptions.
