Retrospective recap: This article covers the game played 2026-08-15. Records and game context are reported as of that date.
Joe Fagnano and Ja’Kobi Lane produced Baltimore’s first touchdown of the preseason, and the Ravens kept Philadelphia out of the end zone until late in a 24–7 victory at M&T Bank Stadium on August 15. Baltimore began the 2026 preseason 1–0; Philadelphia fell to 0–1.
With most of Baltimore’s starters sitting out, Lane turned his opportunity into the game’s first score. The rookie receiver took a 16-yard pass from Fagnano in the second quarter and reached the goal line while carrying two defenders, according to the Ravens’ game report.
The Ravens widened the lead after halftime. Tyler Loop made a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter, and Adam Randall’s 4-yard touchdown run pushed the margin to 17–0 in the fourth. Baltimore’s control of the game came from sustained possession as well as those finishes: the official box score credits the Ravens with 41:17 on the ball and a 440–159 advantage in total net yards.
Fagnano completed 22 of 28 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Tyler Huntley added 76 passing yards on six completions in seven attempts. Elijah Sarratt led Baltimore with six catches for 66 yards, and tight end Matt Hibner contributed five receptions for 61. Lane finished with three catches for 38 yards and the touchdown.
The ground game spread the work, too. Randall carried 12 times for 46 yards and a score. Austin Reed added a 14-yard rushing touchdown; he also completed both of his passes for 14 yards. Philadelphia’s three quarterbacks combined for 92 gross passing yards, and the Eagles did not convert any of their nine third downs.
The win still left corrections to make. Loop missed a 49-yard attempt in the first quarter before hitting from 42, and Sarratt lost a third-quarter fumble. Baltimore nonetheless opened the exhibition schedule with contributions across its reserve offense and a defense that conceded only a late touchdown.
