The Philadelphia Eagles were favored entering their season opener against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, but the home team still had one potential advantage.
The Patriots had a special ceremony planned for ex-quarterback Tom Brady, who returned to Foxboro on Sunday for the first time since his NFL retirement. A host of former Patriots were in the building to celebrate Brady, who brought the crowd to its feet pregame by ringing a bell next to Gillette's newly-renovated lighthouse.
That's a tough environment for an opponent to enter -- but veteran Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham ensured his team was prepared.
