MINNEAPOLIS – The momentum was back in the New England Patriots favor when they took a 33-32 lead, their first of the game with 9 minutes, 22 seconds left.
And then a bad thing happened – the defense took the field.
The Eagles then put together an 11-play, 75-yard drive, culminated by Nick Foles 11-yard scoring pass to Zach Ertz with 2:21 left.
That gave the Eagles a 38-33 lead in a game they would eventually win, 41-33, to claim their first Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium.
All night long the New England defense came up short.
