Old foes meet yet again for this year’s Super Bowl. Here’s a look at the second Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s no easy feat to take down Tom Brady and the Patriots in the playoffs. Pass pressure has been the key to disrupting the Patriots and taking them down in big games. Just ask the 2007 and 2011 Giants, who did so with tremendous defensive linemen.

The Eagles will be a tough challenge for Brady and the Patriots. They have the fourth-ranked defense in the league and have been able to get pressure on opposing Quarterbacks with just their four defensive linemen all season. This means the Eagles will be able to maximize their pass coverage by dropping seven to cover the pass while disrupting Brady with just four guys.

That being said, the New England defense is no slouch. After a rough start to the season, they have certainly turned it around and are ranked fifth in points allowed-per-game. Their one weakness comes in their front-seven. Aside from a great performance against the Tennessee Titans, they have been bad at generating quarterback pressure and rank 31^st in the league in disruption rate.

This is good news for Quarterback Nick Foles. Foles needs to focus on not turning the ball over and he'll have time in the pocket to make good decisions. The Patriots are 159-15 when they win the turnover battle in the Bill Belichick era. If Foles can keep the chains moving offensively then that will ensure an opportunity to win the game late will present itself.

However, they need to capitalize on that opportunity if and when it comes. The Jaguars had plenty of opportunities to win the AFC Championship, but they couldn't get it done on the offensive side of the ball. The Eagles better play their best for the entire 60 minutes of the game. If they don't, it'll be a heartbreak that so many of other teams have experienced against New England.

Losing Carson Wentz hurts the Eagles a lot, but they have proven they're an elite team without him with a statement win over the Minnesota Vikings.

The Eagles have got to get to Brady and pester him all game if they want to win. We’ve seen Brady pick apart the Seattle Seahawks in the 4^th quarter of a Super Bowl when they lost their pass rush with defensive-end Cliff Avril exiting the game from an injury. We saw Brady pick apart the Atlanta Falcons last year in a historic comeback against a worn-down Atlanta defense that became too fatigued to generate pressure.

The Eagles are the more complete team and more talented team. They have more offensive weapons and their defense doesn't have any serious liabilities like New England does. If they play fundamentally sound and mistake-free, then they should be able to handle New England.

That may be asking for too much though. Brady seemingly always makes the right plays in these games to win the game, no matter how talented the other team is.

If the Eagles start to falter on the offensive end, then they better get to Brady. We've seen it happen to so many teams once their defense gets worn out in the fourth quarter. Brady will lead the Patriots with another clutch drive to win the game after a hard-fought battle from both teams.
