McKee continues to deliver when given a chance to play, and this time he did it he facing a Bengals team that briefly played its starters.

After 179 days, the Philadelphia Eagles are back to playing football again. The last time the Eagles took the field was in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX, in one of the most dominant victories in franchise history.

Tanner McKee threw for 252 yards and accounted for three first-half touchdowns, leading the host Philadelphia Eagles to a 34-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday evening. McKee got an opportunity for extended playing time with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts held out of the Eagles' first preseason game.
