New England needed two interceptions by Asante Samuel, one for a touchdown, and a late 4-yard score from Laurence Maroney for the decisive points Sunday night.
The New England Patriots are still perfect but the Philadelphia Eagles gave them a scare. The Pats rallied for a 31-28 win in New England's closest win of its 11-0 season. Laurence Maroney's 4-yard TD run with 7:20 left capped a 10-play, 69-yard game-winning drive for New England.

Tom Brady, as cool as ever, delivered every time the San Diego Chargers gave him another chance.
