It can be hard to get excited for the final preseason game, which is why Beau Allen kicked things off with a little Nature Boy:
WOOOOO!!! 🍻💪🏻 https://t.co/9HbJMuC08O

Lane Johnson couldn’t get up for this contest, and the Eagles starting right tackle has no idea when he’s going to get suspended:
And as you’ll see in this review of Thursday night’s Eagles-Jets contest, bad football doesn’t mean bad GIFs:
Marcus Smith made a very nice play early in the game:
There’s DGB, in the game to further familiarize himself with the offense, making back-to-back first down catches:
Speaking of first downs, all Paul Turner does is catch passes:
Unfortunately for the Eagles, Chase Sanchez then showed up:
JaCorey Shepherd got toasted on this play by Temple product Robby Anderson:
(The Jets wouldn’t score once after this play, as it was officially Hackenberg time.)
How dare Ed Reynolds get fired up after a big hit!
Chase Daniel threw his second pick of the game, but more importantly for GIF purposes, he was planted into the ground
It was generally a relaxing night for the starters. Here is Fletcher Cox trying to ruin Bennie Logan’s sideline interview by dabbing and then giving Logan a wet willie:
If you're putting Paul Turner on the practice squad, Paul Turner gonna make you look him in the eye as you do it

Doug Pederson was pretty fired up after the big play, and so was Turner:
Not too much happened in the last 30 minutes, but the best GIF of the night came right after halftime:
Eric Rowe got an earful from Mike Mayock up in the booth for not getting his head turned around on this play:
Put that ball away, McLeod:
Aziz Shittu, rolling dice after making a tackle for loss in the backfield:
Christian Hackenberg, second-round pick, could not hit the broad side of a barn last night. Ed Reynolds benefitted from this horrible throw:
Bennie Logan just couldn’t stand for someone dabbing on him, so he decided to do it to Zach Ertz:
This throw was Hackenberg’s night in a nutshell:
Who said we wouldn’t get a chance to watch Carson Wentz?
It wasn’t a perfect night for Turner. I’m not sure I have ever seen a fair catch at the 2:
….. And the preseason finally ends on another terrible Hackenberg throw!
