Philadelphia Eagles With Foles at the helm, the Eagles started off the game strong, leading the Patriots 22–12 at halftime. In the second half the Patriots gained momentum and for the first time took the lead in the 4th quarter 33–32. The Eagles rallied back and scored an 11-yard Touchdown to tight end Zach Ertz. Later the Eagles converted on a 46-yard field goal by Jake Elliott to lead 41–33. On the final play of the game with 9 seconds left, Brady threw a hail-mary pass directed toward tight end Rob Gronkowski which was bobbled by Patrick Robinson before being dropped in the end-zone as time expired, securing the win for the Eagles 41–33, and ending the 58-year long championship drought. This would be Philadelphia's first Super Bowl win and their fourth league championship (their first championship since 1960). Foles won Super Bowl MVP going 28–43 with 373 passing yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception. Nick Foles became the first backup quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl since his opponent Tom Brady won as the backup for Drew Bledsoe in 2001.
