It was an ugly win, but the Eagles are 1-0 on the 2023 season after a 25-20 win over the Patriots at rainy Gillette Stadium.
All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts has won 18 of his last 19 regular season starts, and Philadelphia can now look towards a Thursday night showdown against the Vikings on Amazon Prime.
In a game where Brian Johnson and Sean Desai made their debuts as coordinators, the Eagles were sloppy and unable to get D’Andre Swift or Dallas Goedert involved offensively.
On defense, Philadelphia sacked Patriots quarterback Mac Jones twice on the afternoon and got solid performances from rookie Jalen Carter, and 2nd-year defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
With the contest now complete, here’s an instant analysis of the win.
