Friday night preseason roundup.

Two close games, two routs in last night’s preseason action.

In Philly, the Eagles lit up Carolina for 24 first-half points en route to a 27-10 win. Donovan McNabb was 6 of 9 for 138 yards for the Eagles, whose three quarterbacks accounted for nearly 300 yards passing. Tony Hunt ran for two touchdowns in the first half, which was a show in dominance by the Eagles’ offense and defense. Lito Sheppard also had an INT return for a TD in the first half, off of Jake Delhomme. David Carr was 7 of 13 for 111 yards and ran for the only Panthers touchdown.

In New England, Tennessee came back from a 17-7 halftime deficit to win 27-24. John Vaughn’s 22-yard field goal with 1:45 was the winning score for the Titans. It was a mistake-filled game for New England, as the Patriots threw four INTs and fumbled three times (but recovered them all). Tom Brady was 10 of 19 for 145 yards and a touchdown, but threw two of the picks. Vince Young, in his preseason debut, was a woeful 5 of 17 for 102 yards.

At the Meadowlands, the Vikings scored three defensive touchdowns in a 37-20 beating of the Jets. Darren Sharper and Chad Greenway had first-half interception returns for TDs, and Brian Robison had a fumble return for a TD in the third quarter for Minnesota. Former Cowboys QB Drew Henson was 4 of 9 for 33 yards for the Vikings, and Adrian Peterson ran for 70 yards and a touchdown. The Jets had more yards (315-230) and first downs (22-14), but four turnovers cost them mightily.

In the lowest-scoring game of the night, Atlanta picked a up 13-10 road win at Buffalo. George Cooper’s one-yard TD catch from Chris Redman with 2:38 left was the winning score for the Falcons. Joey Harrington was 4 of 7 for 31 yards and an INT. Former Cowboys kicker Billy Cundiff kicked two field goals for Atlanta.

Nine games are on the slate tonight, highlighted of course by the Broncos-Cowboys matchup tonight at Texas Stadium. The game starts at 7 p.m. CT.
