Hub Arkush: Brilliant Philadelphia Eagles earn win for the ages in Super Bowl LII

MINNEAPOLIS – Boy, it’s really a shame there wasn’t much going on in Super Bowl LII, isn't it?

Purists and conspiracy theorists had to be miserable in Minneapolis and almost anywhere else in the world a TV was turned on Sunday night, but other than that, what a game.

Granted, defense wasn’t on the menu as the Eagles and Patriots broke the record for most total offense in a Super Bowl . . . before the end of the third quarter.

We knew the Patriots would play some bend-don’t-break and let the Eagles pile up some offense, but who saw the Pats' fifth-ranked defense in points allowed allowing the Eagles 32 in the first three quarters and 538 yards and 41 points on the night?
