Eagles beat Patriots to claim first Super Bowl title

MINNEAPOLIS -- In a game with few defensive highlights, all the Philadelphia Eagles needed was one turnover to seal their Super Bowl 52 victory.

With a little more than 2 minutes remaining, Eagles defensive end Brandom Graham forced a fumble by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, and when Eagles rookie Derek Barnett recovered, Philadelphia finally made the defensive stand that would help seal its first Super Bowl title.

The Eagles beat the Patriots, 41-33, at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. The crowd of 67,612 featured significantly more Eagles fans, who erupted in cheers when Barnett recovered the ball to make New England's hopeful comeback attempt significantly tougher.
