Eagles shock Patriots with 35-28 win

  • 9 years ago
Two touchdowns on special teams. One more on defense. Not to mention a couple of touchdown passes from Sam Bradford, who returned after missing the previous two games. "It takes those things to win in this stadium against that coach and that quarterback," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said on Sunday after Philadelphia beat the New England Patriots 35-28 on Sunday. After giving up 45 points in back-to-back games, the Eagles fell behind 14-0 lead before scoring five straight touchdowns. Then New England (10-2) came back, taking advantage of an onside kick and a fumble to turn a 21-point deficit into a one-score game in the final minute. That's when the Patriots receivers dropped three passes in a row to turn the ball over on downs. The Patriots hold a three-game lead over the New York Jets in the AFC East. But if the season ended today, they would not have a first-round bye for the first time since 2009.
