PHILADELPHIA – It was everything that Super Bowl LII wasn’t.
Both teams combined for 553 yards, about half of what the total was in the Big Game (1,151). Each team had 8 punts, which is 16 total for the game, 15 more than the total in the Big Game. 27 points were scored, as opposed to 78 in the Big Game.
The Patriots used three field goals, a gadget play touchdown, a two-point conversion, and a defense which finally cracked the Eagles’ code to defeat Philadelphia, 17-10 on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The Patriots held on to the one seed in the AFC as Baltimore continues to steamroll over opponents.
