Eagles Win Super Bowl 41 to 33

Nick Foles won the Super Bowl with the same team that he left 3 years ago.  That goes to show that the problem was not the player, the problem was the manager that couldn't develop talent and know how to use the skillset of his team to win.  Well, I did not see this coming: the New England Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles!  This is the first Super Win for the Philadelphia Eagles. The final score was
Eagles - 41
Patriots - 33


For the NFL history buffs Patriots vs Eagles is a rematch from Superbowl XXXIX where the Patriots won 24 to 21. This year things turned out differently.  The Patriots was behind in every quarter of this game, never taking the lead.  For some reason, starting Cornerback, Malcolm Butler, did not play in this game due to coaches decision.

With an injured hand, Tom Brady threw for 505 yards, which is a record, but it was not enough to overcome destiny.  I do not know if the Patriots were celebrating too early, but they did not have an answer for the Eagles well managed team.  To be honest, it was a dog fight and the Patriots did not have an answer for the hay maker blows the Eagles dished out.

The Eagles played as a solid well managed team, but a lot of credit has to be given to Nick Foles. Foles was drafted by the Eagles in 2012.  He had a good start taking over for NFL Michael Vick.  In 2015, out of the blue, Nick Foles was traded to the Rams for an injured Sam Bradford and draft pick.  This was the beginning of the end for Foles career.  Foles lost the start Quarterback on the Rams and became a back up for the Rams and Chiefs.

In 2017, Foles was free agent, signed to a 1 year deal to back the Rookie star Carson Wentz.  The Eagles went on a championship run to clinch a bye week as the top seed in the playoffs.  In week 14, Carson Wentz went down with a season ending ACL tear injury.  Nick Foles was named the started and took the team to win a Super Bowl Championship. What are the odds?  Nick Foles was tossed aside by a bad manager, and he came back to win the team a championship.

As a long time Eagles fan, all I can say is Fly Eagles Fly!  Nick Foles what a hell of a Quartback, from traded to another team to Super Bowl MVP.
