The lessons of Lambeau Field lingered in the Eagles' locker room this week. The Eagles play the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday in the third preseason game of the summer, which will likely be the final tune-up for the starters before the regular season begins on Sept. 11.
Last August, the Eagles emerged from this game as a national story. Sam Bradford completed all 10 of his passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns on three drives. Chip Kelly took Bradford out after the first quarter because, what more was there to see? The Eagles were ready for the regular season, and travel agents could start taking Super Bowl reservations.
