MINNEAPOLIS – For decades upon decades, parents will tell their children about Feb. 4, 2018. They’ll remember when Doug Pederson called the trick play at the goal line, when the Eagles kept attacking Tom Brady, and when the greatest dynasty in NFL history fell to an improbable champion from Philadelphia.
The Eagles are Super Bowl champions. You can read that again. It’s not going away. The Eagles beat the Patriots, 41-33, at U.S. Bank Stadium to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history. A team with a backup quarterback and that wore underdog masks throughout the playoffs because they were never favored to win sent Brady and Bill Belichick home with a Super Bowl loss.
