00:00 Despite a slow start to the game, the Patriots defense largely dominated against an Eagles offense that could beat them in a lot of different ways on paper coming into this game.

00:09 In particular, it was impressive to see New England's rookies step up in their first live action.

00:14 Christian Gonzalez had a pair of third down stops, one in completion forced on a deep pass,

00:19 and had a sack of Jalen Hurts to put the offense for the Eagles in long distance territory on what would eventually be a stop.

00:26 Keon White was a consistent presence in the backfield as a pass rusher, and Marte Mappu lined up at several different positions.

00:32 Here's what Matt Judon had to say about the young defenders.

00:35 Matt, what did you think of some of the performances you got tonight from the rookies, Christian, Marte, and Keon?

00:41 It's a welcome to the NFL, man.

00:44 We knew when we drafted them and we got them in here, and they actually put pads on, that they were really good players.

00:52 And I think for Gonzo to go out there and play the way he played, for Keon to get in and play how physically he played,

01:03 and when Marte was in the game, him making plays and just kind of being all over the field.

01:08 I don't really know Marte's background too much. I watch highlights and things like that.

01:14 But for him to be able to play linebacker safety and outside linebacker, that's just kind of unbelievable.

01:20 And as a rookie, those guys, those three guys got a lot on their plate and they handled it tonight exceptionally.

01:30 And they went out there and played their butts off.

01:33 New FanDuel customers can bet $5 and get 200 in bonus bets, guaranteed.

01:40 Plus, all customers who bet $5 will get $100 off NFL Sunday ticket from YouTube and YouTube TV.
