Impotent Offenses

[Cntrygal]

The New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles have been two teams to emulate in recent years. They mixed punishing defenses with offenses that could soar on any given weekend. The Patriots won the Super Bowl after the 2001 season. The Eagles had 34 regular-season victories from 2000 to 2002, the most in the league.

But when those teams play Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, it will be the first time in 71 seasons that two NFL teams that were shut out in Week 1 met in Week 2, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
