Philadelphia Eagles spring upset of New England Patriots

This came one day after he was left off the active roster for the first time this season in the Eagles’ 35-28 win over the New England Patriots.

The sooner the Patriots get back to their winning ways, the better.

Philadelphia has scored more points just once this season, when they beat New Orleans, 39-17, in Week 5. Now at 6-6, despite the loss to the Bills, they are still tied for first place in the AFC South with the Indianapolis Colts. New England drove into the red zone before Tom Brady tried to fit a pass into Danny Amendola but it was tipped and intercepted by Malcolm Jenkins who returned it 100 yards for a touchdown.

On Patriots’ special teams play: “Well look, I’m not the coach”.

With the decision to limit Murray’s touches working so well for the Eagles on Sunday, his snaps against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14 will show if Kelly was telling the truth when he said the Patriots linebackers were the reason Murray only saw 14 snaps.

The Patriots’ actually jumped out to a 14-0 lead.

“Sort of had a chance there at the end”.

It marks the first time since the 2012 season that New England has lost consecutive games.

No Rob Gronkowski or Julian Edelman – both out for indefinite periods with knee and foot injuries, respectively – meant that the Patriots had to play a clean game offensively to help make up for their losses. We’re 10-2. There are a lot of teams that would love to have our record.

“I think, like anybody, he was disappointed, but he understood”, Kelly said Monday of that deactivation.

The points and the home team during primetime is very inviting considering just how banged up the Pats are.

After giving up 45 points in back-to-back games, the Eagles fell behind 14-0 lead before scoring five straight touchdowns.

Brady, who completed 29-of-56 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns, along with the two picks, explained the thought process behind how he evaluates his performance. Keshawn Martin has a chance to improve while Brandon LaFell must step up. “And they understand that when you perform on the training field that you’re going to get an opportunity, and I think that’s what’s showing right there”. Kelly said he didn’t have an update on Mathews’ progress Monday. “When you lose and things aren’t going well, you can’t get too low”.

Throughout the course of the offseason, the Eagles made quite a few moves to bolster their defense. Eight plays after the dropkick Bradford connected on a 5-yard pass over the middle to Zach Ertz to cut the deficit.

“They just executed so well in everything they were doing”, Patriots special teams specialist Nate Ebner said. “And they gave us one”.

If he can get through the next four games, the Eagles should be able to win three of them. Ryan Allen’s kick was blocked by Chris Maragos; Goode scooped it up and ran it 24 yards for the touchdown to send the teams into the break tied 14-all. And Murray, who had been averaging about 16 carries a game, had just eight for 24 yards. This team was 4-7 before they played against the Patriots.

White had 10 catches for 115 yards, including a 25-yard gain on a 4th-and-12 in the fourth quarter.

NOTES: Brady had never in four previous games against the Eagles thrown an interception….

It was Brady’s 30th TD pass, the sixth season he’s done that in his career. It was Brady’s first multi-interception game since the Super Bowl. The Patriots were 38-4 following a loss since 2013. The ensuing Patriots onside kick went out of bounds, but Philadelphia left the window open when Kenjon Barner fumbled on third down with a minute remaining.

The New England comeback was witnessed by about half the crowd.
