Eagles escape with win vs. Patriots despite lackluster offensive performance

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Eagles vs. Bucs on Monday Night Football FOXBORO, Mass. — By the time Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni boarded a flight home following a season-opening win, he had already scribbled notes about how the team’s Week 1 performance could improve next season. “Second thought, if I had to do it over again right now, I would say, ‘Yeah, I would have played the starters one or two drives in the preseason,’” Sirianni said. “But I’m not worrying about that right now.” The preseason playing time was not necessarily the cause of the Eagles’ lackluster offensive performance in a 25-20 victory over the New England Patriots, and there’s never a dispirited feeling after escaping Gillette Stadium with a win. Sirianni pointed to strong communication — the Eagles had operation problems elsewhere, but not offense — and thought Johnson “called a great game” and “made some adjustments in the second half to throw it a little bit more.” Sirianni made sure to emphasize that he was happy on Sunday night.
