One of the wildest, offensive-dominated games in Super Bowl history was won on defense.
Naturally.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham’s strip-sack of Tom Brady – the only sack of the game – stuffed the New England Patriots’ comeback hopes and gave the Eagles a 41-33 victory and the first Super Bowl title in their history.
Brady’s fumble was recovered by Eagles rookie defensive end Derek Barnett at the Patriots’ 31 with 2:09 remaining. Rookie kicker Jake Elliott kicked a game-sealing, 46-yard field goal a minute later.
