Tom Brady has defeated the Eagles in a Super Bowl in the past. Brady defeated the Eagles in the Super Bowl in the past when Philadelphia had a much better team. The Eagles had a much more experienced quarterback in big games with Donovan McNabb. Nick Foles is an extremely talented player, but the Eagles also don’t have the kind of receiving corps that they did when they first played the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Bryant Westbrook was an effective force catching the ball out of the backfield and you had Terrell Owens and James Thrash as widoeouts.
Key Takeaways:
- The Eagles are stronger on the long or deep pass game than the Patriots
- Brady is better at passing with pressure in the pocket and avoiding sacs
- The Eagles will need to step up their ground game when it comes to rushing yards, as New England has several players who are well skilled at carrying the ball
