Patriots Execute Trick Play, Rally to Beat Eagles in Super Bowl LII Rematch
The New England Patriots bounced back from their first loss of the season, erasing a 10-0 deficit on Sunday to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, 17-10, in their first meeting since Super Bowl LII.
The Eagles jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the second quarter, but three field goals by Patriots kicker Nick Folk cut the deficit to 10-9 at halftime.
With 10:49 remaining in the third, the Patriots dug deep into the playbook for a trick play, when wide receiver Julian Edelman caught a pass from Tom Brady and then threw a 15-yard TD strike to Phillip Dorsett II to give them the lead.
That’s all that the top-ranked Patriots defense would need, as they smothered the Eagles, holding them to 152 yards on an average of 3.45 yards per play following Philadelphia’s first-half TD drive.
With the win, the Patriots improved to 9-1 and have a two-game lead on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East.
Next up for the Patriots will be a date this coming Sunday with another NFC East power, the Dallas Cowboys at home.

Kyle Busch Wins Season Finale, Takes Home Second NASCAR Cup Title
Kyle Busch capped a season-long journey on Sunday, winning his second Monster Energy Cup Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Busch outdueled a talented group of Championship 4 finalists which included Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin, on his way to winning the Ford EcoBoost 400 and clinching the season-long title.
The 34-year-old Busch had won four races earlier in the season and clinched the regular-season championship, but hadn’t visited victory lane since June 2nd at Pocono Raceway.
Busch, who also won the Cup title in 2015, became the 16th driver in NASCAR history to win multiple championships and joins seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson as the only active drivers with multiple titles.
“We have a great race team and a great owner,” Busch said after Sunday’s race. “Everybody always says you never give up and we’re no different. Sometimes we may not be the best, sometimes we may not have the right track position. Today we had a really good car and I could race around and move around.
“There’s always your doubters, there’s always your haters. You know what? This one’s for the Rowdy Nation. You guys are the best. Thank you so much.”
