Patriots media guide is wrong: Last opponent blocked punt returned for TD was Nov. 22, 2009 against the Jets.

by Ryan Hannable via twitter 12/6/2015 11:04:18 PM
#Patriots ' Matthew Slater (stinger) back for that kick return. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:05:31 PM
Slater, as you can see, is back in the game.

Instead of a double score, #Patriots give up a blocked punt TD then punt to start the 2nd half. Bizarro World

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:09:21 PM
#Patriots take over on the #Eagles 46 after a bad punt. Need to get some points here

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:14:00 PM
Amendola knocked it out with his own knee. Closer to a fumble than it initially looked. #Eagles might want to challenge

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:17:33 PM
#Patriots rush to the line of scrimmage, get stuffed for minus 4 yards. Hurt themselves again by being too fancy

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:19:26 PM
Bizarro. World.

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:20:21 PM
Malcolm Jenkins 100 yard INT return TD. Tight throw to Amendola in double coverage, tipped up by Thurmond. #Patriots are all out of sorts

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:21:18 PM
Jenkins with the 100-yard INT return for the TD and the #Eagles have silenced Gillette once again. Take 21-14 lead. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:21:32 PM
Pick-6 by Brady. Malcolm Jenkins picks off tipped pass intended for Amendola and takes it 100 yards. Eagles lead, 21-14.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:21:50 PM
Since attempting a drop-kick kickoff, Patriots have been outscored 21-0.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:23:41 PM
That is Brady's fifth interception of the season and the first time he's ever thrown an INT against the Eagles.

Rachel G Bowers, Producer 12/6/2015 11:25:42 PM
The Goodell Curse continues: Brady throws pick six. #NEvsPHI

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 11:27:17 PM
What a play by Amendola. True grit.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:28:23 PM
Brady is running for his life all day. And the OL has no excuses. They're all healthy, outside of Solder

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:29:11 PM
Think it's safe to say Brady misses Edelman and Gronk today. None of his receivers can get open

#EaglesSpecialTeams

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:31:35 PM
83 yard punt return TD by Darren Sproles, and the #Eagles are about to go up by two touchdowns. Holy cow

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:31:54 PM
83-yard punt return TD by Sproles. Eagles about to take a 28-14 on the Patriots.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:32:03 PM
Darren Sproles with the 83-yard punt return for TD. #Eagles lead, 28-14 and the natives are getting restless. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:32:11 PM
#Eagles take 28-14 lead with 4:18 left 3Q. They have scored on a blocked punt, a 100-yard INT return and an 83-yard punt return

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:32:37 PM
Since attempting the drop-kick kickoff (the purpose of the play is what, exactly?) the Patriots have been outscored, 28-0.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:33:45 PM
Living on a prayer blaring at Gillette. Seems appropriate right now. #Eagles lead, 28-14. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:34:19 PM
Hahaha yesssss

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:37:05 PM
What a play.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:37:05 PM
Darren Sproles 83 yard Punt return for the touchdown. #FlyEaglesFly #PHIvsNE #GoodellCurse

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 11:37:21 PM
That was Tom Brady's second career catch. Had a 23 yarder in 2001

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:37:35 PM
And then Brady gives it back on the next play. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:38:01 PM
Tom Brady with the 36-yard RECEPTION. And follows it with a pick in the end zone #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:38:27 PM
Brady is really pressing. Doesn't know what to do without Gronk and Edelman

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:38:59 PM
Guessing that's the first time Brady has gone reception/interception on consecutive plays.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:39:03 PM
Tom Brady is averaging 29.5 yards per catch for his career. Hall of Fame worthy

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:39:37 PM
28-14 #Eagles heading into the 4Q. #Patriots have totally melted down since leading 14-0. All started with the drop-kick

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:41:26 PM
Third quarter ends with Eagles leading, 28-14. They'll face third-and-2 from their 39.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:41:29 PM
Eagles ran 7 plays in that third quarter, for 20 yards. Scored 14 points (INT return for TD, punt return for TD).

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:43:51 PM
Here's Amendola's pass to Brady:

Rachel G Bowers, Producer 12/6/2015 11:46:48 PM
Patriots called that timeout because they only had 10 players on the field.

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:49:16 PM
Now 35-14 #Eagles . Drive home safely folks

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:52:10 PM
Bradford to Matthews for the 10-yard TD and many are headed to the exits as #Eagles take a 35-14 lead. #NEvsPHI

by Jim McBride via twitter 12/6/2015 11:52:13 PM
When's the last time the Patriots were outscored 35-0 in any stretch of a single game?

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 12/6/2015 11:52:56 PM
#Patriots worst home loss in Belichick era is 25 points to #Dolphins in 2008. Currently down 21 to #Eagles

by Ben Volin via twitter 12/6/2015 11:54:53 PM
Jordan Matthews 10 yard TD pass from Sam Bradford. #PHIvsNE #FlyEaglesFly

by NFL via twitter 12/6/2015 11:58:02 PM
Scott Chandler 14 yard TD stops the bleeding temporarily. Soon to be 35-21 with 5:27 left 4Q
