Tom Brady Blames Self for Patriots’ Loss to Eagles on Sunday

But more importantly, it was Jenkins’ interception return and Darren Sproles’ 83-yard punt return in the third quarter that broke the game open, with a Bradford touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews giving the Eagles a 35-14 lead early in the fourth.

The Eagles enter play with a 4-7 record and are 4-7 against the spread this season, while the Patriots are 10-1 straight up and 5-4-2 at the betting window.

Now the defending Super Bowl champions are trying to recover from their first back-to-back losses in more than three years. The Patriots’ rushing game is ranked just 28th, compared to the 21st-ranked run defense of the Texans.

Kelly said the roles are dependent on weekly matchups and health.

In 2006 the Patriots dropped two straight games to the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets. Patriots receivers dropped three passes in a row to turn the ball over on downs.

“Sort of had a chance there at the end”. “A comeback”, Belichick said unenthusiastically. “It’s going to be a good game”.

Once it was announced that Peter Morelli’s Crew was demoted from the Steelers vs. Colts Sunday Night Football game to the Eagles vs. Patriots game, chaos started due to Morelli’s crew performance during the Patriots loss to the Broncos last week.

The New England Patriots almost dug out of a 21-point second-half hole in their Week 13 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Less than a week ago, the Patriots were chasing an undefeated season.

“We’d love to have everybody healthy”. “Just do whatever I can to help the team”. “It’s just not the reality at this point”. The quarterback only threw for 120 yards last week, but he completed two touchdown passes and avoided the fatal turnover. O’Brien coached Vrabel in New England for two seasons.

“So it is unfortunate because those cost you a game and I have to do a better job”.

“At the end of the day you’re judged on did you win or did you lose”, Kelly said.

“Even when he first got here, you could even kind of see it then”, Belichick said. DeAndre Hopkins also had a great game with 88 yards and a TD on five catches. They quickly turned things around with a 35-0 win against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. We threw the ball for over 350 yards, whatever it was. “They threw stuff at us that we didn’t”.

These plays are obviously cherry-picked to illustrate a point, and exclude any missed calls that might have benefitted the Patriots, but some are particularly egregious. “Our defense better get ready to play this week because we are playing against a really good back”.

Seahawks 38, Vikings 7: The Seattle Seahawks scored five touchdowns in six drives and dominated the Minnesota Vikings 38-7. “He’s played end, he’s played linebacker”.

James White led all receivers with 10 receptions for 115 yards.

Did the Patriots cover?

The ensuing onside kick attempt by Ebner went out of bounds, and Philadelphia ran the clock down to just over 1 minute.
