We are now almost a week removed from the Patriots’ disappointing loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, and yet it’s still difficult to wrap your head around what we just saw.
That’s because what we saw, an Eagles’ offensive outburst for 41 points and 538 yards, was unprecedented for a Bill Belichick coached defense.
Arguably the greatest defensive mind in the history of the NFL surrendered the most yards and the second-most points in a game in his historic career as the Patriots head coach in the biggest football game of them all.
