Eagles Win Super Bowl In Game For The Ages

Yes, it's pretty clear that Tom Brady is the greatest NFL quarterback of all time, but he doesn't own the Lombardi Trophy.  The Philadelphia Eagles fought and clawed and used every weapon they had right down to the end to beat the reigning champion New England Patriots 41-33
No doubt, this will go down in history as one of the greatest Super Bowls in history.  The two teams combined set a record for most yards in a Super Bowl and that was before the 4th quarter started.    It was the first Super Bowl win for the Eagles. It denied New England it's 6th Super Bowl win.  The Patriots have played in a record of 10 Super Bowls. 
The Eagles lost their franchise quarterback Carson Wentz in the middle of the season and were thought to be dead in the water.  The Eagles quarterback, Nick Foles had considered retirement after last season.  Foles threw for over 370 yards. 
It was not a great day for defenses and both team's punter's got plenty of rest.  The Seattle Seahawks beat the Eagles earlier in the season.
