Week 13: Philadelphia Eagles 35, New England Patriots 28 (10-2) (Sunday, December 6, 2015)
What a game of insipid awfulness! In the beginning, all was well as the Pats were up 14-0, but a boneheaded pooch punt backfired and gave the Eagles a spark as they ultimately ran back a blocked punt for a TD, an endzone INT for a 99-yard touchdown, and a punt return for a TD. The offense stunk it up, letting up the 99-yard pick-six and not coming awake until late in the fourth quarter. The defense had their woes. Special teams really took the cake with those two punting disasters. The team took the crappy Eagles too lightly and paid the price, though incredibly enough, they came close to winning the game late! Even Bill Belichick and the coaching staff fell down on the job this one. You DON'T lose AT HOME against an opponent that had 45 points scored on them in each of their last two games!!!
Let's hope they show more zip against Houston next week!
Everyone else in the AFC East won their games.
