FOXBORO, Mass. – The obituaries on the Eagles season should be put on hold.
The Eagles responded from two embarrassing losses with a stunning 35-28 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium, an improbable outcome that puts the Eagles back in playoff contention.
The criticism of Chip Kelly might have reached a crescendo during the past two weeks, but the bandwagon could welcome passengers with the Eagles within striking distance of first place.
The Eagles used three non-offensive touchdowns to turn a deficit into a big lead, and they were able to hold on despite a fourth-quarter scare.
