Welcome to Sports Center here on ESPN.

As the pre-season draws to a close,

Detroit beat New Orleans, a closer game, 28-20,

We saw Philadelphia absolutely

crush Washington last night.

And in other pre-season action, we watched

as New York handled Chicago, easily...

Good morning, Jack.

- Hey, Teddy. Welcome back.

- Hey, thanks.

- Gar.

What's happening at Camp David?

Well, Matt's getting closer with Ben-Itzak
