More from Inside the Iggles

For the first time since Super Bowl LII, the Patriots will meet the Eagles in game that counts in 2019.

That comes in Week 11 on November 17th. Both teams will look different. There’s no LeGarrette Blount, no Nick Foles, and no Rob Gronkowski.

‘The G.O.A.T.’, Tom Brady, will be there, and with no ‘Gronk’, Michel may play a bigger role for the Pats in 2019. That gameplan served the Georgia Bulldogs well during Michel’s time there. That should serve New England well as Michel continues to mature in Josh McDaniels’ offense.

Circle this game (if you haven’t already). The world will be watching.

10. LeSean McCoy, Buffalo Bills

Eagles fans miss ‘Shady’, and if you ask him, he’ll tell you he misses them too. He may not miss former Eagles coach Chip Kelly, but his love for the ‘City of Brotherly Love’ has never waned.

‘Shady’ is also one of the biggest competitors the Eagles have ever known, and love or no love, he’s going to want to stick it to his old team. He may be in the twilight of his career, but games like this one make 31 year old running backs feel like they’re 20 years old again. Expect McCoy‘s best effort.
