EAGLES UPEND PATRIOTS FOR FIRST SUPER BOWL TITLE (AND FIRST NFL CROWN SINCE 1960); PHILLY QB NICK FOLES NAMED GAME MVP

At Minneapolis:

Quarterback Nick Foles---named the game's Most Valuable Player---accounted for four touchdowns on Sunday----throwing for three and catching one for another----as the Philadelphia Eagles captured Super Bowl LII by a score of 41-33 over the defending champions New England Patriots.

The Eagles won their first Super Bowl title (and their first National Football League championship since 1960).

The 1,151 combined yards of offense between the two teams marked a modern single-game NFL record (regular OR post-season).

In the losing effort, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw for a Super Bowl-record 505 yards (and threw for three touchdowns).
