The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots collide in Week 2 of the NFL preseason schedule on Thursday.
The Eagles have Super Bowl aspirations after a disappointing ending to the 2023 season in which they finished 11-6. Meanwhile, the Patriots are in the beginning stages of a rebuild. Last season, they went 4-13.
The Patriots and Eagles have gone head-to-head in joint practices this week, and it seems the Patriots' offense has had a rough time.
New England clearly has some issues to iron out, but it looks like Philadelphia's starting offense will be sitting out. Everything suggests Thursday night’s game will be a scrappy, low-scoring affair.

Patriots vs Eagles team news
New England Patriots team news
The Patriots offense doesn't have the luxury of resting too many starters on offense, but it does not mean they are prepared to score touchdowns. This is a very young offense and one that struggles to protect.
Brissett is set to start this game, but fellow rookie Joe Milton III is expected to get plenty of playing time.
New England's defense will be the key to staying competitive, even in the preseason. Under new head coach Jerod Mayo, the defense will be tasked with containing an Eagles offense likely led by Kenny Pickett and Tanner McGee.
Philadelphia Eagles team news
Given that Jalen Hurts didn't take to the field during preseason last year, it seems very unlikely that we will see him at all until the regular season. That means we will likely see a lot of QBs Pickett and McKee.
The Eagles' offense might be easing into the regular season, but their defense still needs some fine-tuning. While the starters may see limited action, several new faces still need to get accustomed to the system.
This includes free-agent signings like linebacker Zack Baun and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, as well as rookies like cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Even the players deeper in Philadelphia's depth chart are expected to present a tough challenge for this version of the Patriots' offense.
