Eagles vs. Patriots: Detailed breakdown of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl LII opponent

The Philadelphia Eagles will be playing the New England Patirots in Super Bowl LII next Sunday: Feb. 4, 2018. Yes, it’s really happening.

With kickoff almost a week away, let’s take a closer look at the Eagles’ opponent.

After coming back from a 28-3 deficit to win Super Bowl LI, the Patriots had an unusually aggressive offseason in 2017. Many thought the team was chasing the only thing they’ve yet to accomplish: a perfect 19-0 record.

Well, that didn’t last too long.

The Patriots lost the 2017 NFL season opener on Thursday night despite playing at home against the Chiefs.
