NFL Roundup: Eagles capitalize on Steelers turnovers in win

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Landry Jones threw four interceptions and the visiting Philadelphia Eagles capitalized.

Nolan Carroll’s 38-yard interception return for a score was the lone touchdown of the first half, helping the Eagles to a 17-0 victory Thursday night.

The Eagles’ defense has nine takeaways in six quarters. Pittsburgh, which suffered its previous preseason shutout in 2014, has one offensive touchdown in two games.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was held out for the second straight week along with running backs Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams and wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, missed the game with fractured ribs, while wide receiver Jordan Matthews sat out with a knee injury.

Sam Bradford led Philadelphia’s offense to a field goal late in the first half, giving the Eagles a 10-0 lead at the break. He finished 14 of 19 for 115 yards.

Jones had a dismal half for Pittsburgh, going 12 of 20 for 111 yards with four interceptions. The first was Carroll’s 38-yarder for a score.

Jones’ second interception came in the first quarter after leading the Steelers to the Philadelphia 8. A fade for Cobi Hamilton was broken up by Leodis McKelvin and intercepted by Malcolm Jenkins.

Jones threw his third interception late in the second quarter as a pass intended for Sammie Coates was picked off in the end zone by Aaron Grymes. Jaylen Watkins picked off Jones again in the final minute of the half.

Chase Daniel opened the second half, leading the Eagles on a 15-play, 87-yard touchdown drive. A 23-yard pass to Paul Turner helped set up Kenjon Barner’s 5-yard touchdown run, making it 17-0. Daniel finished 10 of 16 for 82 yards.

New England 23, Chicago 22: Tom Brady sat out his second straight preseason game, while Jimmy Garoppolo continued to make progress in the Patriots’ win over the Bears in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Brady had been expected to make his debut after missing last week’s game to attend memorial services for a family member.

Garoppolo will start the first four games of the regular season while Brady serves his “Deflategate” suspension, and he made the most of the extra playing time. Garoppolo threaded a 16-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to A.J. Derby late in the first half for his first TD pass of the preseason. He played the entire first half and one series in the second half, finishing finished 16 of 21 for 181 yards.

Green Bay 20, Oakland 12: Eddie Lacy’s powerful running early on helped propel the Packers over the Raiders in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Lacy had nine carries for 45 yards, capped by a 1-yard touchdown dive on third-and-goal, to highlight a 14-play, 74-yard drive to start the game as the Packers again played without QB Aaron Rodgers.

The night was over at that point for Lacy, who made coach Mike McCarthy happy in the offseason by slimming down after the coach was critical of the lead back’s playing weight at the end of last season.

With a healthy Rodgers again held out of game action, second-year backup Brett Hundley made the start in his preseason debut.

But after directing the early touchdown drive, which used more than half of the clock in the first quarter, Hundley left the game early in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

An injured ankle sidelined Hundley for two weeks until he returned to practice this week.

Atlanta 24, Cleveland 13: Robert Griffin III threw two touchdown passes in the first half in his home debut in the Browns’ exhibition loss to the Falcons.

Griffin found wide receiver Terrelle Pryor streaking down the right sideline on Cleveland’s second drive of the game for a 50-yard scoring strike. Griffin connected with tight end Gary Barnridge for a 22-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.

Griffin, who signed with the Browns (0-2) after being released by Washington, was 6 of 8 for 96 yards in four series. The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner also gained 36 yards on three carries, including a 22-yarder.

Cincinnati 30, Detroit 14: Jeremy Hill ran for a 9-yard touchdown on Cincinnati’s first possession, and the Bengals went on to beat the Lions. Hill hurt his left hand in Cincinnati’s preseason opener last week, but he had three carries for 16 yards against the Lions and also caught a pass.

Former Cincinnati wide receiver Marvin Jones, signed by the Lions in the offseason, had four catches for 65 yards against his former team. Detroit’s Matthew Stafford was 8 of 11 for 113 yards, but the Lions went without a touchdown until the final minute of the game.

Cincinnati’s Derron Smith returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter.
