Matthew Huntley View of Eagles and Patriots

I am reviewing the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriot’s game.

The game was close the whole time especially in the fourth quarter when the Patriots were trying to catch back up.  The Eagles quarter back, Michael Vick ,was injured early in the game. He was hit after he threw a pass by a Patriot’s defensive linebacker.  His ribs were hit directly by the helmet of Jermaine Cunningham.  The Patriots led at the end of the first quarter 3-0.

The Patriots in the second quarter had a touchdown pass throw by Ryan Mallet to Alex Silvestro and the Patriots then led 11-0. The Eagles answered back on the next drive with a touchdown run by LeSean McCoy.  The Eagles stopped the Patriots on their next drive and scored again and led 14-11.  Patriots drove down the field and made a field goal which tied the game before halftime.  The Eagles came out to finish in the second half and scored right away. The Eagles now led the Patriots 24-14.  The Patriots drove down field on their next drive but were eventually forced to kick a field goal and they were then trailing 24-17.  The fourth quarter was the best the Patriots had played all game long on defense. They held the Eagles to only a field goal in the fourth quarter.  The offense for New England just could not get it going and did not score the fourth quarter.  The Eagles beat the Patriots 27-17.
