Who Should I Start? Mike White or Kyle McCord

Saturday, August 9, 7:27 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mike White came out of the gates slowly but finished strong in a 34-25 preseason-opening loss to the New York Giants on Saturday. White, who's competing with Mitchell Trubisky for the backup role behind Josh Allen, took over after halftime and missed on his first four attempts. Tight ends Jackson Hawes and Zach Davidson each dropped a pass, but White was unfazed. He went on to complete eight of his last nine throws to finish 8-for-13 for 112 yards and two touchdowns. White rolled to his right to find wide receiver KJ Hamler in the end zone for a 39-yard score on a fourth-and-four play and later dumped off a seven-yard TD to running back Darrynton Evans. It was a good day for White, a former New York Jet and Miami Dolphin, but it came after Trubisky held his own in the first half. The two will continue a wide-open battle for the No. 2 job against the Chicago Bears on Aug. 17.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kyle McCord completed 8-of-16 passes for 47 yards and a touchdown, and tacked on two rushing yards on a single attempt in Saturday's 22-13 loss to the Browns. Despite the lackluster stat line, McCord was actually Philly's leading passer of the game after relieving Dorian Thompson-Robinson midway through the second quarter. The Eagles offense struggled overall on the day, mustering just 88 yards on that side of the ball. Their longest drive-of 31 yards-resulted in their lone offensive touchdown, which was a nine-yard pass from McCord. The rookie sixth-round draft pick currently sits in the fourth QB spot on the depth chart, and likely won't get much playing time in the 2025 season.
