The Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots, 14-13, on Thursday night. Jacoby Brissett started at quarterback for the Patriots, but Drake Maye saw a slight majority of the action under center. The third pick in the draft completed 6-of-11 passes for 47 yards and scored New England's only touchdown of the game when he faked a handoff and ran it in from the four yard line.

Maybe also took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith Jr., who left his feet and grabbed Maye by the shoulders before treating him to a little headbutt. Smith was penalized on the play and the Patriots ended up kicking a field goal four plays later.
