MINNEAPOLIS (ESPN CLARKSVILLE/Reuters) – The Philadelphia Eagles upset the National Football League’s defending champion New England Patriots 41-33 on Sunday to capture their maiden Super Bowl title.
For the Eagles, who previously lost the Super Bowl in 1981 and 2005, the win capped a remarkable late-season run that many considered unthinkable when starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending injury in December.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was named the Most Valuable Player of the Super Bowl on Sunday after leading his team to victory over the New England Patriots in the NFL’s championship game.
