Patriots Report Card: Another dominant effort for defense, special teams vs. Eagles

After giving up a demoralizing 95-yard touchdown drive, Sunday looked like it could be another long day for the Patriots defense.

But New England was able to rebound from that early punch and shut Carson Wentz and Co. down after that score, shutting them out for the rest of the game.

Combined with a great outing from the Pats' special teams, two-thirds of the team turned in a performance worthy of high grades in Phil Perry's weekly Patriots report card.

... And then there's the offense. N'Keal Harry made his NFL debut and Julian Edelman threw a nifty TD strike to Phillip Dorsett, but that's about all the highlights for an offensive unit still looking to find its groove.

How does all of that translate into grades?
