It was a defensive effort for the ages for the New England Patriots in Sunday’s regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
They ultimately weren’t able to come away with the victory, but they did hold quarterback Jalen Hurts and the explosive Eagles offense to 251 total yards in the 25-20 loss.
Two of the touchdowns scored by Philly came on a pick-six on Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, along with a fumble by running back Ezekiel Elliott putting the defense in compromised field position.
It has been made obvious once again that the defense will be the strength of the Patriots.
