Eagles soar past Pats for first Super Bowl crown
MINNEAPOLIS -- For the first time, the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions.
Not since 1960, when the Eagles defeated Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers, had Philadelphia taken the NFL championship.
"We knew we had something special," Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount said after Philadelphia beat the New England Patriots 41-33 on Sunday in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The teams combined for an NFL-playoff-record 1,151 yards from scrimmage in a shootout that came down to the final play.
A Hail Mary pass by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady fell incomplete in the end zone to the seal the Eagles' victory.
