The Eagles proved Sunday night that the Patriots can be beat. They just weren’t able to do it.

Still, Sunday night’s game was a reminder that maybe the Pats aren’t as invincible as they might appear. I don’t know if someone will defeat them in the last five games (if the Steelers can get their act together and anticipate how the Patriots adjust after this game, they will have the best shot), but the playoffs should be fair game. However, this might be chilling for New England’s foes — when the Patriots needed to execute in the fourth quarter, they did, with Tom Brady and Wes Welker leading what would be the game-winning drive (with Randy Moss catching nary a pass) and the defense stopping A.J. Feely.

– A word of advice to Bear opponents: STOP KICKING THE BALL TO DEVIN HESTER. If the Broncos miss the playoffs because they lost this game …

– A lot of seemingly mediocre teams won Sunday — San Francisco, Oakland, Minnesota, Chicago, New Orleans, Cincinnati and almost Philadelphia. It was definitely a week for parody.

– Only five more regular-season Sundays left. Start planning that Super Bowl party now.
