Patriots crush Eagles in preseason so the game actually matters a ton

Forget whatever happened last February between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LII, that’s all in the past. This year’s Patriots roared out to a 34-7 lead in the second week of the preseason against the Eagles and really reinforced what we all knew all along.

The playoffs don’t matter, it’s what happens in the preseason that really matters the most. Who needs Super Bowl trophies when you can experience Ja’Whaun Bentley returning a fumble 54 yards for a touchdown? Some performances really transcend football and become art- and Tom Brady and the Patriots just Picasso’d their way all over the Eagles and that means that Philadelphia has to vacate their Lombardi Trophy victory and hand it over to the Patriots.
