The Eagles are undefeated after a tightly played 25-20 win over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in a game that saw Philadelphia blow an early 16-0 lead.
All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts has won 18 of his last 19 regular season starts, and Philadelphia can now look towards a Thursday night showdown against the Vikings on Amazon Prime.
