The New England Patriots lost their first game of the season during their Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Julian Edelman knows if the Patriots get out to a slow start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, they could lose their second game in a row.
Edelman recently appeared on Ian Rapoport's RapSheet + Friends Podcast and was asked what the team learned from their loss against the Ravens.
“You got to play the game the way you go into the game trying to play it,” Edelman told Rapoport via NFL.com. “With a team like Baltimore, you can't get behind because they're so dynamic at keeping the ball away from you. So, starting fast, getting back on that program, being able to come out and start fast and get a rhythm established. A lot of this week was more of self-scout and we're just kind of working on us, on all the things that we have to do better.”
The Eagles haven't had quite as strong of a start to the season as they desired and getting a win against the Patriots is really a must-win to continue to compete in the NFC East standings. There is no doubting that Carson Wentz and the rest of the Eagles will be trying to get out to a fast start.
The Eagles' offense is averaging 11.7 points per game during first halves, so the Patriots are going to need to step up defensively from right out of the gate. Also, Tom Brady and Edelman must get the offense to find a rhythm and build momentum early, too.
The Patriots and the Eagles should both find out a lot about themselves during this game.
