This will be the 13th meeting between the Eagles and Patriots dating back to November 4, 1973. Oddly enough the head-to-head matchup is tied at six. Sunday’s matchup is somewhat of a rubber match.
The Eagles are struggling this season and coming off two demoralizing, back-to-back losses where they allowed each team to score 45 points against them and both quarterbacks tossed five touchdowns each. Yes, you read that correctly; each opposing quarterback threw five touchdowns against the Eagles’ defense.
Sunday the Philadelphia Eagles defense faces New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He is one of the best NFL quarterbacks to ever play the game.
