FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - 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.

Backup Eagles QB A.J. Feeley nearly pulled off the biggest upset in the NFL starting in place of injured QB Donovan McNabb. Feeley completed 27-of-41 passes for 345 yards and three TDs. He also threw three interceptions, two picked off by Asante Samuel.

Wes Welker had a career night for the Patriots. Welker caught 13 passes for a career-best 149 yards.

The Patriots are the seventh team since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to start the season 11-0.
