With the Eagles coming off three straight losses, including two by a margin of more than four touchdowns, fans didn’t know what to expect from the team when it traveled to Foxborough, Massachusetts to take on the 10-1 New England Patriots this week. After a 45-14 trouncing at the hands of the 4-8 Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, Philadelphia had 10 long days to mull over that humbling loss. But instead of allowing disappointment surrounding the recent struggles to fester, the Eagles focused their attention completely upon getting back in the win column in Week 13.
After falling behind 14-0 early in the game, the Eagles rattled off 35 consecutive points to go ahead 35-14 with six minutes left in regulation.
