The greatest, most accomplished quarterback in NFL history put forth another Super Bowl performance for the ages, but this time it wasn’t enough. In the largest explosion of offence in Super Bowl history, the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night outfought Brady’s New England Patriots, deservedly capturing the Philly franchise’s first Super Bowl championship, 41-33. The Eagles hadn’t won an NFL championship since before the Super Bowl era began — in 1960, with a defeat of legendary Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers. Now, they’ve got their first Vince Lombardi Trophy — given annually to the Super Bowl champion. The latter mark broke the single-game Super Bowl record he set just a year ago, 466.
