Eagles vs. Patriots Week 1: Storylines to Follow
- Eagles
- Will coaching changes have an impact?
- The Eagles' run to the Super Bowl last season came at a cost. They lost both their offensive and defensive coordinators to head coaching jobs this offseason. Brian Johnson was promoted to offensive coordinator from quarterback's coach, while Sean Desai was hired for the defensive coordinator role after spending 2022 with the Seattle Seahawks. The Eagles' roster is full of talent on both sides of the ball. How their new coordinators manage that talent will have a massive impact on their ability to go one step further than they did last year and win a Super Bowl.
- How quickly can Philadelphia's rookies make an impact on defense?
- The Eagles lost several defensive players during free agency, most notably defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, linebacker T.J. Edwards, and defensive backs Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps. Their key additions are headlined by two first-round draft picks, defensive tackle Jalen Carter (9th overall) and linebacker Nolan Smith (30th overall). How quickly Carter and Smith start their careers will have a significant impact on the Eagles' ability to absorb their losses in free agency.

- The debut of a new offense
- The Patriots acted quickly this offseason to address the issues that plagued their offense during the 2022 season, bringing in Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator to replace the dysfunctional duo of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. All eyes will be on O'Brien as he looks to reignite a Patriots' offense that finished last season ranked 17th in points for (364) after posting the 6th most points (462) during the 2021 season. In a loaded AFC East, New England needs to drastically improve on offense to have any shot at a successful season.
- Can Mac Jones get back on track?
- After an impressive rookie season that saw Jones complete 352 of 521 (67.6%) pass attempts for 3,801 yards (7.3 yards per attempt), 22 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, he regressed in 2022, completing 288 of 442 (65.2%) pass attempts for 2,997 yards (6.8 yards per attempt), 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 3 fewer games played. With Matt Patricia gone, Jones will need to prove that his potential is more what he showed his rookie season and less what he showed in 2022. Is Mac Jones the long-term answer for the Patriots at the quarterback position? That is the driving question behind New England's 2023 season, and the first step toward answering it begins with an incredibly difficult home matchup with Philadelphia.
