The New England Patriots will begin two days of joint practices with the Philadelphia Eagles today, about a week after heading down to Virginia to practice with the Redskins. After these two sessions, they meet again on Friday night, for their second contest of the preseason.
There are a number of interesting angles to take a look at between these two squads, both on the offensive, and defensive side of the ball. The Eagles are a quality team, and will definitely challenge these Patriots.
I have compiled the top five matchups to watch over the next two days (in my mind), based off of both importance, and excitement. Enjoy!
