Nick Foles engineered the type of Super Bowl-winning drive that made Tom Brady famous and then watched his defense seal the victory in the most prolific offensive game in NFL history.
The Philadelphia Eagles won their first NFL championship since 1960 with a 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots, with Foles winning MVP in a season that started with him as a backup.
The 41 points New England allowed were more than they have given up in any Super Bowl in the Bill Belichick era. It also surrendered 538 total yards, including 373 through the air.
The stage was set for another dramatic Super Bowl comeback for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. That’s when Brandon Graham delivered one of the few defensive highlights in the most prolific offensive playoff game in NFL history, ripping the ball out of Brady’s hands for a fumble that gave the Philadelphia Eagles their first Super Bowl title in franchise history.
Tom Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for 500-plus yards, three or more touchdown passes and no interceptions and still lose.
