BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Reggie was overpowering at the Super Bowl.
Maybe Fletch will be, too.
When the Packers ended their 29-year championship drought, after the 1996 season in Super Bowl XXXI, Reggie White, a big-money free-agent defensive lineman, made sure Titletown reclaimed its nickname. In the most breathtaking display of condensed defensive dominance in NFL postseason history, White sacked Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe three times in the game’s final 18 minutes and squelched any hopes of a comeback.
The Eagles would be delighted if their $103 million tackle lays out Tom Terrific a couple of times in Super Bowl LII on Sunday night.
