Any meeting between the Baltimore Ravens and Philadelphia Eagles is highly-anticipated and their Week 2 NFL Preseason matchup is no different. Scheduled at the Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field on August 22, the two squads will again boast off some of the league's most popular and notorious reserve players.
Foremost of all is third-string Eagles quarterback Tim Tebow, whose every play on the court is either widely praised or criticized. Tebow had a good game highlighted by his trademark rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter of their preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Philadelphia dumped the Colts at home last Sunday, 36-10, as the Eagles' rookies played with a purpose, as reported by SB Nation.
The Ravens are also coming off a win at home, this time against the New Orleans Saints, 30-27, at the M&T Bank Stadium.
Quarterback Joe Flacco was sharp in a short appearance, leading Baltimore to a first quarter touchdown drive, as per ESPN.
Both teams looked strong and playoff bound this season and can pile up points as shown by their opening games. But Philadelphia will prevail at their home field in a close but high-scoring affair.
