Eagles stun Patriots in New England with return magic

The Philadelphia Eagles are alive and well in the NFC East after one of the more surprising upsets of the season, a 35-28 win over the New England Patriots. Here's what we learned:

1. The Patriots led in this game 14-0, but some disastrous special teams turned the game around. Bill Belichick tried a dropkick for an onside kick try, which failed and gave the Eagles a short field to set up a touchdown. Then the Eagles added a punt block touchdown to close the first half and a Darren Sproles punt return touchdown in the second half.
