Michael Kress was ready to play the New England Patriots. He had been ready all week to kick some Patriots ass. But the Patriots are the best team in the NFL right now even though both the Eagles and Patriots are undefeated. The night before the game Michael met with a few buddies of his at a local bar in Philadelphia. They had a few drinks but Michael isn't very good at handling alcohol. So let's just say it wasn't a very pretty sight. Michael was stumbling out of the bar at midnight and Michael got in his car with his one of his other friends and he decided to try to drive home.
Michael backed up and drove down the street. But Michael and his friend only made it two blocks away before Michael drove off the road and hit a tree. Michael was okay and so was his friend. Michael called his wife and told her what had happened. Michael's wife was not too happy with him. She walked to the scene of the accident because Michael and his wife only lived two blocks away from the accident scene. She then called the police and said she slid off the road during wet conditions and hit a tree. The police believed her and took her word for it. Michael was lucky this time that he wasn't going to jail and he could play on Sunday.
The next day came and it was finally Sunday. Michael was pumped up even though he had a major hangover. Finally the coin toss came and the Eagles won the toss and the Eagles chose to receive. The kickoff was returned 25 yards from the 1 yard line. So the eagles started at their own 26 yard line. Michael was finally becoming an NFL Superstar now all he had to do was beat the New England Patriots like he did last year.
Michael first pass was completed for 12 yards and a first down. Then the Eagles from their own 38 yard line decided to throw one deep. Michael heaved the ball high in the air and it was caught at the New England 15 yard line where the receiver was tackled when he caught the ball. Now the Eagles were in the red zone exactly where they wanted to be.
Michael then handed the ball off to his running back who gained five yards on first down. Now it was second and five for the Eagles at the Patriots 10 yard line. Michael then did a play action pass and completed the pass to his tight end in the end zone for a touchdown. Now it was six to nothing Eagles. The extra point was good. The score is now Eagles 7, Patriots 0.
Then the defense came on the field and stopped the Patriots in their tracks. Two sacks and a good open field tackle the Patriots had to punt on a fourth and twenty two situation. The Eagles returned the punt to mid field where Michael Kress took the ball and one play later the Eagles were in the end zone because of a 50 yard completion to the running back who weaved his way through the New England defense by breaking tackles and just plain out running defenders over.
The Patriots got the ball back with 14 minutes left in the second quarter. They did an 17 play 80 yard drive for a touchdown. In the process they ran 9 minutes off of the clock. Now the Eagles had just 5 minutes which is plenty of time to drive down the field.
Michael took the snap and engineered a drive that only an NFL Superstar could engineer. He completed a pass for 7 yards. Now it was second and three from their own 27 yard line. He handed the ball off to the running back who gained five yards and a first down. Then Michael completed the pass to the tight end for 15 yards and another first down. Now the Eagles were at their own 47 yard line. So just for the hell of it Michael decided to take a shot down the field and he completed a 53 yard touchdown pass where his receiver jumped over 3 defenders to catch the pass.
Michael was thrilled. Now at the half the score was now Eagles 21, Patriots 7. Both teams were quiet in the second half. The final score was Eagles 21, Patriots 10.
After the game Michael and his teammates celebrated in the locker room. They were glad that they had won again and more importantly beat one of the better teams in the NFL. Michael was finally becoming an NFL Superstar and a legend in the town of Philadelphia.
