The Philadelphia Eagles didn't get the result they wanted in their preseason opener, but there were still individual performances worth highlighting.
Philadelphia fell 24-7 to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night, struggling to generate much offense for most of the evening. The Eagles finished with only 159 total yards, six first downs, and went 0-for-9 on third down. Baltimore controlled the game for more than 41 minutes. That makes it difficult to find many positives from the overall performance.
But that's not really the point of the preseason.
With most of Philadelphia's starters watching from the sideline, the game provided an opportunity for young players, backups and roster hopefuls to establish themselves. A handful of Eagles took advantage of that opportunity.
Here are six players who stood out against Baltimore.
