FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- A look at the New England Patriots players who were “up” and those who were “down” in Sunday’s 35-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles:
UP
Danny Amendola: Returning after missing a game with a left knee injury, the receiver caught an 11-yard touchdown pass. A 14-yard catch on third-and-12 in the third quarter was another big-time play.
Malcolm Butler: The starting cornerback opened the game strong with a couple of pass breakups and was competitive in coverage throughout. On a day when there were few bright spots, he was one of them.
