The Philadelphia Eagles will again try to defend their home field and remain undefeated in the preseason as they play the Baltimore Ravens who are also coming off a victory in their preseason opener.
In their first game this preseason, Philadelphia played very well on both offense and defense to crush the Indianapolis Colts at the Lincoln Financial Field, 36–10.
One of the moments in the match that drew the loudest cheers from the crowd was quarterback Tim Tebow's return to National Football League (NFL) action after a two-year hiatus.
The former Heisman Trophy winner entered in the third quarter and completed six of his 12 passes for 69 yards and was sacked a number of times, although he delighted the fans when he rushed for a seven-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is seeing the progress Tebow is having this offseason and is excited to give him a roster spot, according to recent reports.
With all the hype surrounding Tebow, it is likely that he will have another chance to show that he deserves a roster spot when they take on the Ravens.
But another quarterback expected to return after dealing with two consecutive anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and make his debut for Philadelphia is Sam Bradford, who was acquired via trade from the St. Louis Rams last March.
Bradford is performing well for the Eagles in training camp. If he plays against the Ravens, it will be his first time playing again after re-injuring his ACL in the third game of the Rams' 2014 preseason.
According to Rant Sports, along with Bradford, running back Demarco Murray may also see action against Baltimore.
Meanwhile, the Ravens will look to secure their second win and their first on the road this preseason.
Baltimore defeated the New Orleans Saints in their preseason opener 30–27 with a complete offensive and defensive performance.
The Ravens had the chance to fully utilize their backup quarterbacks veteran Matt Schaub and rookie Bryn Renner after giving starter Joe Flacco limited minutes against New Orleans.
Schaub completed 11 of his 18 passes for 134 yards and one touchdown while Renner was successful with six of his 14 passes for 88 yards, although both threw an interception each.
Rant Sports also discussed how the Ravens played very well on the defensive end, forcing three downs a number of times while facing the Saints starters. The team managed to do so even though they no longer have veteran nose tackle Haloti Ngata, who was traded to the Detroit Lions last March.
The match will be played on Aug. 22 at 7:00 p.m. EST. To watch via live stream, click here.
