Nick Foles threw the go-ahead 5-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz with 2:21 to go and the Philadelphia Eagles won their first Super Bowl by outscoring Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 41-33 on Sunday night.
The most prolific playoff game in terms of combined yardage in NFL history was then decided on a defensive play when Brandon Graham stripped Tom Brady and rookie Derek Barnett recovered with 2:09 to play to set up a field goal by Jake Elliott and prevent another late Super Bowl comeback by the Patriots.
The Eagles blew a 12-point lead in the high-scoring matchup before rallying behind their backup quarterback who will go down in Philadelphia lore after throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns and catching another on a fourth-down trick play to give the Eagles their first championship since 1960.

The NBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year has joined a two-time Super Bowl champion to rally support for clean water Adidas Brent Burns Jersey , a cause dear to both University of Virginia alumni.
Milwaukee Bucks player Malcolm Brogdon announced Thursday that he’ll be the first NBA ambassador for Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long’s Waterboys Initiative, which installs deep-borehole wells in east Africa.
A University of Virginia release says Long reached his initial goal of building 32 wells, at $45 Adidas Jaden Schwartz Jersey ,000 each, the same week the Eagles won the Super Bowl last month.
At Virginia, Brogdon partnered with a nonprofit focused on affordable ceramic water filters in South Africa.
The Hoos’ generosity extends beyond water: Long donated his entire 2017 season salary to charities Adidas Vladimir Tarasenko Jersey , and Brogdon had the money budgeted for his Rookie of the Year campaign donated.
