Countdown to Minneapolis: The Recap

by | Feb 5, 2018

The Philadelphia Eagles ended their 2016 with a losing record.

At 7-9 the Eagles ended their season last year at week 17 without making it to the playoffs.  An overall mediocre season with a few glistening highlights, the Eagles solidified themselves as an underdog going into the fall 2017 season.  This reputation followed the team for the past six months, even as the Eagles qualified for Super Bowl LII against the five-time champion, the New England Patriots.  This is a title that the Philadelphia Eagles had never won.


Yesterday’s game was brimming with thrilling plays that despite the Eagles keeping a constant lead, left fans engrossed in the action.  Patriots quarterback  Tom Brady even set a Super Bowl record yesterday after completing 505 passing yards.  Eagles quarterback Nick Foles set his own history as well in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game after becoming the first QB to catch a touchdown pass.   However, despite the Patriot’s dominant resume and roster-including MVP Tom Brady- the team fell short of winning their sixth Super Bowl rings.  The Eagles fought for their win with passion and spirit for their city that ecstatically sang ” Fly Eagles Fly” in celebration following the teams win.
