Welcome to Season 8, Episode 10 of the Unconventional Preview, a serious-yet-lighthearted, nostalgia-tinted look at the Patriots’ weekly matchup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. This matchup marks the first meeting of the Patriots and Eagles since Super Bowl LII back in February 2018, when Nick Foles and the Philly offense expertly used every creative trick in their playbook to pull off the upset, 41-33.
Not that it matters whatsoever with regard to Sunday’s outcome at Lincoln Financial Field, but it’s worth noting, given how rare any kind of winning streak against this team in the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era is, that the Eagles have won their last two games versus the Patriots.
