MINNEAPOLIS — We can break down whether the progress made by Nick Foles this month has been real. We can dissect how Philadelphia’s fierce front four matches up with New England’s offensive line. We can go through the advantage Tom Brady gives the Patriots, and wonder how the Eagles will combat Rob Gronkowski.
But before any of that matters, for the Eagles to win Super Bowl LII on Sunday, they need to make sure to avoid the one thing that’s taken out challenger after challenger to the Patriots’ throne. They have to avoid screwing it up. Take it from someone who’s seen it from the other side.
