5 takeaways from Patriots’ 17-10 win over Eagles

Here are five takeaways from the Patriots’ hard-fought win over the Eagles.

N’Keal Harry shows promise in his debut game

Although the numbers didn’t translate, Harry showed some promise in his first NFL game.

Harry had a much-anticipated debut after missing the first half of the season on the injured reserve list. He’s the only wide receiver to ever get drafted by Belichick in the first round and the Patriots will need him to get this offense in order.

He finished the game with three catches for 18 yards on four targets. New England slowly rolled him out, but he played more snaps than expected after Phillip Dorsett left the game with a concussion. He logged 32 snaps and his first reception helped New England advance on a third-and-seven.

Sanu has taken on the role of mentoring Harry and he’ll head into Week 12 with less nerves and more experience in this offense. Sanu and Harry will play a major role in turning this offense around and this debut game was a great sign for what’s to come.
