The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles defended their respective home fields and advanced to Super Bowl 52. While the Jacksonville Jaguars squandered a 10-point 4th quarter lead, the Minnesota Vikings ceased playing any form of competent football after going up 7-0. Perhaps they thought Stefon Diggs’ miracle touchdown against the New Orleans Saints gave them a 40-point head start against the Eagles, and if they did, they’re sorely mistaken.
