Patriots End 1st Eagles Joint Practice Strong, Eye Thursday After 52-Yard Field Goal

3 articles · Updated · Pats Pulpit · Aug 20

Summary

  • A 52-yard Andy Borregales field goal capped New England’s late two-minute drive, while the Patriots defense held both Eagles units scoreless in their own end-of-session attempts.
  • Drake Maye and A.J. Brown fueled much of the offensive success, connecting seven times in team work, including four completions during 11-on-11 periods.
  • Mack Hollins said the strong showing carries little weight into Thursday’s second joint practice, stressing that players will review the tape and start the next session from scratch.
  • Milton Williams echoed that message on defense: solid communication and pass-rush wins mattered Wednesday, but the bigger test is repeating it after run-defense issues against Saquon Barkley and company.
