The Patriots pulled off a heart-pounding 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles, thanks to rookie QB Behren Morton’s clutch fourth-quarter heroics — including a game-winning TD drive with under a minute left and even stepping in as an emergency punter. While Morton dazzled, other areas exposed flaws: first-round pick Caleb Lomu struggled at left tackle, and the defense had shaky moments that drew blunt feedback from the coach. Injuries are mounting, especially on the offensive line, with Marcus Bryant exiting with a leg injury and backups like Dametrious Crownover seeing heavy duty. The cornerback battle is heating up between Kindle Vildor and Karon Prunty, while Lan Larison appears locked in as the third running back after outplaying Jam Miller. With cutdown day looming, the team’s final preseason game against the Browns could decide who stays — and who’s already headed home.
