Winners and losers from Patriots’ hard-fought win over the Eagles

A rough night for Tom Brady and the passing game.

Winner: Jake Bailey, P

The rookie punter accounted for 381 yards with eight punts, which included six inside the 20-yard line. His longest punt of the night was a 55-yarder. He was a standout in this game, which was largely a battle of field position. New England picked Bailey in the fifth round in the 2019 draft, which was essentially the death knell for punter Ryan Allen, the incumbent starter.

Loser: Nelson Agholor, WR

He dropped the pass on 4th-and-10 in the fourth quarter. The ball was catchable. It would have brought the Eagles into a situation where they could tie the game. The drop kept Philly out of the game.
