The underdog Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots
41-33 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to win the 52nd edition of the U.S.
National Football League's annual Super Bowl championship.
The win gave the Eagles, representing the National Football
Conference, their first-ever Super Bowl trophy after two previous
appearances.
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who was a backup this season until star
quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending knee injury in week
14, was named the game's Most Valuable Player, throwing for three
touchdowns and 341 meters, including a touchdown pass to receiver Zach
Ertz late in the fourth quarter that gave the Eagles the lead for good.
Foles even caught a touchdown pass on a trick play in the second
quarter, making him the first player in Super Bowl history to both throw
for and catch a touchdown in the same game.
