The Lombardi Trophy is finally flying its way to Philadelphia.
The Eagles held off a dramatic second-half comeback from the New England Patriots to win 41-33, earning their first Super Bowl title in franchise history and handing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick their third defeat on the biggest stage.
In a game stocked full of dramatic - and controversial - moments, Nick Foles and Brady went blow for blow as the two teams produced the most yards in a single game in NFL history. Foles threw for 372 yards, three touchdowns, and added a receiving touchdown while Brady broke his own Super Bowl record with 505 yards.
But it was the defense that ultimately won the game for Philadelphia. Defensive end Brandon Graham strip-sacked Brady on the Patriots' penultimate drive after a Zach Ertz touchdown put the Eagles ahead late in the fourth quarter, all but sealing the game for the NFC East outfit.
Brady got the ball back with just under a minute to play, but, this time, wasn't able to engineer a spectacular game-winning drive.
Foles completed his Cinderella story by being named the MVP of the game.
