With the 2s Tyrod Taylor works the 2s into fg range for the tie. Smack drills a long fg to tie it up. Carrington Valentine dropped a pick on the drive. While Kyle McCord has clearly put up better numbers in the preseason than Tyrod Taylor, it hasn't been clear in practice that McCord is significantly better than Taylor as a backup option going into the 2026 season.

Taylor competing for backup QB role, comparable to McCord in practice.

Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor worked the second-team offense into field goal range and hit a long field goal in a two-minute drill; while Kyle McCord has put up better numbers in the preseason, it hasn't been clear in practice that McCord is significantly better than Taylor as a backup option going into 2026.
