Fresh off a bye week, all signs were pointing towards an intense matchup against the Patriots. That turned out to be the case, but ultimately for all the wrong reasons. Here are some quick takeaways from the frustrating 17-10 loss.
Starting fast, ending slow
The Eagles had a total of 84 yards in the first quarter. A quarter filled with creative plays, pre-snap motion, and a healthy spread of the ball that resulted in a 3-0 lead. In the remaining three quarters however, the Eagles amassed just 171 total yards, a huge chunk of which came in a late offensive surge.
