Patriots strike first: James White 4 yard TD pass from Tom Brady. #NEvsPHI

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 10:09:46 PM
Brady got bailed out by the #Eagles on that one. Broken play turns into a 40 yard gain

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:15:13 PM
That pass was never going to be completed.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:15:15 PM
That's now 6 penalties for 87 yards for the #Eagles , plus a 10-yard holding penalty that was declined

Bad News Blount

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:16:59 PM
Blount just broke Kiko Alonso's ankles on that run

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:19:15 PM
Amendola taps both toes down, and it's an 11 yard touchdown

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:19:49 PM
Tom Brady to Danny Amendola for 11-yard TD. No. 422. No. 30 on the season. Sixth time in his career. #Patriots lead, 14-0. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 10:20:32 PM
Gostkowski PAT is good, and it's 14-0 #Patriots with 7:47 left 2Q. Scoring drive: 8 plays, 80 yards in 4:53

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:20:41 PM
Brady to Amendola for 11-yard TD makes it 14-0. Another 80-yard TD drive, another 30-TD season for Brady, his 6th.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:21:21 PM
Amendola put about six moves on Walter Thurmond on that TD. Thurmond had no chance

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:21:29 PM
That was Brady's 30th TD pass of the season, the sixth time in his career he's thrown at least 30 TDs in a season. bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/12…

by Andrew Mahoney via twitter 12/6/2015 10:23:07 PM
#Patriots surprise onside kick catches the FOX cameramen off guard. Nate Ebner kicked it, not Gostkowski. #Eagles with an easy recovery

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:24:02 PM
That was strange. Gostkowski flips to Ebner, who drop-kicks the kickoff.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:24:07 PM
Danny Amendola 11 yard TD pass from Tom Brady. #NEvsPHI

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 10:24:07 PM
Tom Brady's passer rating when targeting Danny Amendola coming into this game was 118.2, best of NE WRs.

by Pro Football Focus via twitter 12/6/2015 10:24:26 PM
Nate Ebner drop-kicked the kickoff. I guess you can do that. Belichick showing off his knowledge again

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:24:47 PM
And Ebner is a rugby player. Starting to make sense... twitter.com/JasonSymmes/st…

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:27:45 PM
Bradford with a dart past two #Patriots defenders and into Zach Ertz's arms for a 5-yard TD.

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:28:09 PM
#Eagles answer with Bradford to Ertz 5-yard TD pass. Trims #Patriots lead to 14-7. 4:04 left in first half. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 10:28:38 PM
Sturgis PAT is good, and it's now #Patriots 14, #Eagles 7 with 4:04 left 2Q. Scoring drive: 8 plays, 59 yards in 3:43

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:28:57 PM
Curious kickoff decision by Patriots leads to short(er) field for Eagles, who go 59 yards in 8 plays. Patriots lead, 14-7.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:29:35 PM
Leave it to Belichick.... twitter.com/MikePereira/st…

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:30:20 PM
Keyshawn Martin deep to receive this kick for #Patriots . Barring another rugby style kickoff, that is. #NEvsPHI

Zach Ertz 5 yard TD pass from Sam Bradford. #PHIvsNE

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 10:32:36 PM
Eagles with decent starting field position again, this time at their 44.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:34:43 PM
Two-minute warning, with the Eagles facing 3rd-and-13 from the Patriots 43. Patriots lead, 14-7.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:36:56 PM
#Patriots just had 5 safeties in the game on third and 13: McCourty, Chung, Harmon, Wilson, Ebner

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:40:08 PM
#Eagles opt to punt instead of trying a 56 yard FG. Amendola catches it on the 14 for a net of 25 yards

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:41:14 PM
#Patriots have 2 TOs, but seem content to run the ball into halftime for the second straight week.

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:42:26 PM
Weird clock management again by the #Patriots at the end of the half. Can't decide if they want to be conservative or aggressive

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:47:09 PM
Eagles block Allen's punt, return it for TD. We're about to have a tie game.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:47:34 PM
And then Chris Maragos blocks the punt, picked up by Najee Goode and returned for the touchdown. What a turn of events

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:47:36 PM
Blocked punt is returned by Eagles to tie things at the half, 14-14. Gillette has gone silent. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 10:48:52 PM
This has been a special teams nightmare for the Patriots: Slater gets hurt, drop-kick kickoff gives Eagles short field, now blocked punt TD.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:48:58 PM
Here a look at that Nate Ebner drop kick:

Great shot of Danny Amendola TD by Globe’s @matthewjleefoto http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVk62T7WEAAU-d0.jpg

by Matt Pepin, Sports Editor via twitter 12/6/2015 10:49:37 PM
That was #Patriots first punt block allowed for a touchdown since #Jets Brad Smith in 2009. First blocked punt allowed since Week 1 in 2014

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:50:57 PM
HALF: Patriots 14, Eagles 14.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 10:51:41 PM
Najee Goode 25 yard blocked punt returned for the touchdown. #PHIvsNE #FlyEaglesFly

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 10:51:51 PM
Belichick on Wednesday about the #Eagles : "Special teams is probably the best unit we’ve faced all year." No kidding

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 10:54:56 PM
Just poor communication between Ebner, Freeny, Grissom, Fleming on punt block. No one touched Maragos http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVk-wfeXIAA3PsY.png
