The 27-year-old Bradford, who displayed his potential with only one drive for the night, completing 3 of 5 passes for 35 yards and a touchdown, was coming off a missed season and a half of play due to two ACL injuries he suffered since 2013 with the St. Louis Rams.
This is his first time back for a competitive game since the Rams' third preseason game a year ago and had survived some tough hits from Ravens' defenders during his brief stint on the field, including an unnecessary roughness call against Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs.
Bradford started everything for the Eagles, who ended up scoring two touchdowns in their first two series while Joe Flacco and the Ravens had two interceptions at the same time period, as per ESPN.
Murray, last year's rushing leader, also showed flashes of brilliance during his limited run, which head coach Chip Kelly hopes to bring into the coming season. The former Dallas Cowboy rushed five times for 17 yards and a touchdown to put his share in the scoreboard, via the league's official website.
Lastly, third-stringer Tebow again showed everyone his unique skill set of what seems like a quarterback and a running back combined, opening his series with a 26-yard run amidst the Raven's defense.
Tebow entered the game again in the fourth quarter to another loud ovation from Eagles fans. He was only 2 of 5 for 13 yards when throwing, but had 31 yards running, which obviously still needs a lot of improvement.
However, the best thing that he provides for Kelly is his propensity for rushing which draws defenses out of balance like no other quarterback can. He almost had a second straight rushing touchdown that came literally just a few inches short late in the game.
Meanwhile, SB Nation suggested that Tebow may indeed make Kelly's "final 53-man roster" as he continues to amaze his coach.
The game was Philadelphia's second consecutive big win in this year's preseason. They opened with a 36-10 win versus the Indianapolis Colts last week.
