    Every NFL Score for Week 2 of the Preseason

    Thursday, Aug. 17

    • Browns vs. Eagles
      • Start Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
      • TV Channel: NFL Network, NFL+
      • Final Score: 18-18

    Well, that was something. Injuries were the main storyline following the Browns vs. Eagles TIE Thursday night. Philadelphia first-round pick Nolan Smith was the biggest name to leave the game, but others like Zech McPhearson, Tyrie Cleveland, and Moro Ojomo soon followed suit. The highlight of the game was another solid performance from Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

    Friday, Aug. 18

    • Panthers vs. Giants
      • Start Time: 7 p.m. ET
      • TV Channel: NFL Network, NFL+
      • Final Score: 21-19

    Not much to report from this one. Daniel Jones looked good after playing just one drive. However, the drive was nearly perfect, ending with a touchdown pass to Daniel Bellinger on a 2nd-and-4, capping a 10-play, 75-yard possession. Bryce Young looked better than during his first preseason game and has clearly developed a report with fellow rookie Jonathan Mingo.

    • Bengals vs. Falcons
      • Start Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
      • TV Channel: NFL+
      • Final Score: 13-13

    All eyes in this game were on Bijan Robinson as he made his NFL debut. Although it was for just one drive, the rookie RB shined as he showcased his athleticism and talent. Desmond Ridder showed a clear connection with WR Drake London and both defenses played well in this low-scoring affair that ultimately ended in a tie.
