PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles' quarterbacks are on fire.
After a slow start to training camp, the team's quarterbacks have been lights-out the past few days, and that continued on Sunday when the team moved practice from the NovaCare Complex to Lincoln Financial Field in front of 40,000 fans.
So who shined the brightest?
Here is a look at how each quarterback did, with a grade and stats.
Sam Bradford:
Saturday's Reps: 33 reps (all with first team)
Saturday's Stats: 15/22, 3 TD, 1 INT
Overall Stats: 188 reps (14 with second team), 111/144, 11 TD, 2 INT
Analysis: Bradford put on a show Sunday for 40,000-plus Eagles fans who showed up to Lincoln Financial Field.
The quarterback started the day with five straight completions, and it would have been eight straight with a touchdown if both tight end Zach Ertz and receiver Josh Huff didn't drop two of his passes that were on the money.
Even Bradford's interception, his second of training camp, wasn't his fault, as it bounced off the hand of his receiver and into the arms of an Eagles' defender.
Bradford saved his best for last, taking the first-team offense 80 yards down the field for a touchdown. Bradford went 6/6 on the drive, including a short pass to Riley Cooper for the touchdown.
Whether Bradford will be as effective during an opposing team's first-defense remains to be seen, but since a slow start, he has been everything the Eagles could have hoped for.
Grade: A
I should have gone to see Sam throw. He usually looks good in camp. They keep stats on throws in preseason. I have no idea what Foles numbers are. Wos 40,000 fans is a big difference. The heat could be on in Phila if Sam doesn't do well.
