Scoring Plays
9 scores Preseason Finale: Bengals Rest Every Starter as Eagles Host
Read the full recap →The Cincinnati Bengals travel to Philadelphia on Friday, August 28, with every key starter held out: Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart are all expected to sit. Philadelphia's backup quarterback race is trending toward Tanner McKee heading into the finale, with the Eagles otherwise resting Jalen Hurts and their own established starters.
Cincinnati sits its entire star core
With Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Hendrickson and Stewart all out, this is purely a roster-evaluation game for the Bengals.
McKee's backup job looks secure
Philadelphia's quarterback competition behind Hurts appears to be settling in McKee's favor as the finale approaches.
Bottom-of-roster battles take center stage
With so many established players sitting for both teams, this game is decided almost entirely by players fighting for the back of the roster.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 13-20 (Bengals vs Eagles), final was 30-13. Cincinnati's backups routed Philadelphia 30-13, a significant miss for the model's medium-confidence pick of the Eagles.
Bengals Eagles Cincinnati's blanket rest policy is the biggest factor
Sitting essentially every notable starter leaves the Bengals with a lineup of backups and fringe roster hopefuls.
Philadelphia's backup QB situation looks more settled
McKee trending toward the No. 2 job gives the Eagles a clearer plan at quarterback than a wide-open competition would.
Home field adds a further modest edge
Playing at home against a team resting its whole star core favors Philadelphia further.
This is a preseason exhibition finale. Cincinnati's decision to sit every key starter is an unusually clear signal, giving this projection more confidence than a typical finale.
