What to Watch For: Eagles vs. Patriots
Sunday, December 06, 2015
The New England Patriots (10-1) are set to host the (4-7 ) Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season which came against Denver last week. Kick off is set for 4:25 p.m.
"This is a pretty impressive group. There are a lot of talented players on this team. They're really strong in all three phases of the game. Special teams is probably the best unit we've faced all year. They led the league in special teams last year and should be right up there again this season," said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick earlier this week.
Tom Brady added "I think we all want to get back out there because it's been a long time since we've lost a meaningful game. It just sucks."
