What happened: Allar said his response remains the same regardless of the result: evaluate, study and return to work. He finished without a touchdown or interception while taking three sacks.

Why it matters: The outing followed a three-touchdown preseason debut, giving Drew Allar contrasting game film to study. His remaining preseason work will help define his immediate NFL role.

By the numbers: Second preseason outing: 11-of-23 passing, 110 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions and three sacks. Debut: 10-of-13 for 153 yards, two passing touchdowns and one rushing score.

What to watch: Allar's next preseason opportunity will show how quickly he applies the lessons from the shutout.
