Eagles star quarterback Michael Vick was leveled after throwing a long pass in the first quarter and underwent X-rays for the second straight game — negative again. Then backup Nick Foles led the Eagles to a 27-17 preseason victory over the New England Patriots on Monday night.

Foles threw two touchdown passes for the second straight game for the Eagles. Tom Brady sat out the game for the Patriots.
