Patriots losses just a fluke en route to more domination

The Eagles moved into a tie for second in the division with the New York Giants, just a half-game behind Washington, which plays Dallas on Monday night.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP will lead the no-longer-unbeaten New England Patriots (10-1) against Philadelphia on Sunday, and the biggest question is how many of his favorite options will be on the field against the porous Eagles defense. Quarterback Tom Brady was without tight end Rob Gronkowski, top receiver Julian Edelman and No. 1 running back Dion James, and playing behind a reshuffled offensive line that couldn’t protect him.

“We’d love to have everybody healthy”.

In the seven games with all his major weapons, Brady’s full-season pace of 5,381 passing yards with 46 touchdowns and just five interceptions (117.3 rating) actually surpassed his record-breaking 2007 season performance (117.2). “It’s just not the reality at this point”.

That at least gives them a chance few outside their building thought they had.

The Patriots lost their second game on the bounce as they allowed a 14-point lead to slip by conceding 35 straight points to the NFC East side to succumb to a 35-28 defeat at Gillette Stadium. “That being said, the fact we continued to battle back, make some stops, recover an onside kick, score a couple of touchdowns when they knew what we were going to do in terms of throwing the ball – we were able to competitively somewhat give ourselves a chance”. The Patriots’ second straight loss delighted the Broncos. After that run, I’d say he’s a pretty good runner too. He also registered his 71st 300-yard game, third all time. The team signed the 31-year-old Austin to a one-year, $2.3 million deal in the offseason.

The Eagles had only 248 yards of offense, but it didn’t matter due to their excellent special teams play.

“The first interception was bad quarterbacking”. “They were prepared for everything we threw at them”. But the final drive stalled when the New England receivers dropped several passes.

Bradford completed 14 of 24 passes for 120 yards.

“This is as hard a place as there is to win, and against the best quarterback in the business to get a win and to do it after the adversity we faced the last three weeks, it speaks to the character of these men.”

Kelly said it won’t help his team this week partly because the Patriots won’t have the same players they did in those sessions.

(At) Miami 15, Baltimore 13: The Dolphins intercepted a pair of deflected passes from Matt Schaub to score two touchdowns 20 seconds apart late in the first half. But on the next play, with Brady aiming for the end zone, Byron Maxwell picked him off.

White caught a career-high 10 passes for a career-high 115 yards and a touchdown. Tell me a better running quarterback in the league right now than Jameis Winston right now.

It was his fourth punt return for a touchdown as an Eagle for Sproles in just under two seasons. The first-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft wasn’t great for much of the game, but he was when he needed to be.

The game featured yet another highlight reel catch from Odell Beckham Jr, but the Jets won it in overtime to improve to 7-5 and maintain a playoff spot. Ebner attempted two onside kicks, and neither was successful.

Only then did New England rally.
