Eagles’ Brandon Brooks says playing for Patriots protege made him so miserable that he almost retired

One of the most interesting matchups of Super Bowl LII had nothing to do with the actual X’s and O’s on the field.

Instead, it was a battle of two entirely differently cultures.

On one hand, you had The Patriot Way: a system designed to sacrifice individuality in exchange for reaching ultimate team success.

On the other hand, you had the fun-loving Eagles, who planned group celebration touchdowns and let their personalities show.

We obviously know how things turned out. It took a close, hard-fought effort but the Eagles ultimately overcame adversity and dethroned the dynasty that was favored to win yet another title.
