Philadelphia has had its ups and downs throughout their history. In the NFL, the Eagles have yet to let Philadelphia down this year. The team has had one of the best seasons in franchise history. Although the Eagles have appeared in two super bowls, they have only come out with the title once. During the NFL pre-season, the Eagles were ranked number 18. The team was not expecting this tremendously successful season.

Carson Wentz, quarterback for the Eagles, was an important and impactful player. He was a first round pick in 2016. This season, he has had a record year with a 63 passing completion percentage, 3,296 passing yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He only played 13 of the 16 regular season games.

A team’s defense can really make or break a season. With the Eagles defense, they have had respectful success during the regular and postseason, they are pretty set to take on the New England Patriots. As a whole, the defense ended the regular season with 708 tackles, 38 sacks, 19 interceptions with one pick six and 12 recovered force fumbles with five taken back for touchdowns. The Eagles defense has shown that they can go up against any top tier defense in the NFL.

This Super Bowl, held at the U.S. Bank stadium in Minneapolis, MN, will be the Eagle’s third Super Bowl, and they are hoping for a successful outcome. They have been working extremely hard to have a chance to be the next Super Bowl Champions.

The Patriots have had an excellent season once again. They had a shaky start in the preseason losing to the Giants, Texans and Jaguars. After these tough losses, the Patriots turned it around by beating the Detroit Lions. They carried this momentum through the regular season, and the Patriots dominated the rest of the regular season. They finished with an impressive regular season record of 13-3. They then went on to play the Tennessee Titans in the playoffs. The Patriots beat them with ease, the final score was 35-14. The Patriots then went on to the NFL Conference Championship and faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This win advanced the Patriots into the superbowl.

New England’s offense has always been the pride of their football team. With Tom Brady and quarterback and the Patriots dangerous selection of wide receivers like Julian Edelman and Danny Amodeola or Tight End Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots pass game has been a nightmare for opposing defenses.

This success has lead the Patriots to have 4,619 passing yards in the regular season. Even though the Patriots are primarily a pass oriented offense, they still have a dangerous running game as well. Dion Lewis doesn’t always get the spotlight, but he has been a big part of this offense and is a major key in their third down conversions. The Patriots have rushed for a total of 1,889 yards in their regular season, which gives their offense a total of 6,307 all around yards in the regular season.

People know the Patriots have one of the best offenses in the league hands down. Not everyone knows that the Patriots also have a lights out defense. The Patriots linebackers and defensive line have shut down opposing offense run game time after time. They also have done an excellent job creating blitz packages to pressure the quarterback and eliminate opposing teams pass game as well. Dont’a Hightower has been a huge leader in this teams defense. He’s played a huge part in both pass coverage and shutting down the run game. The Patriots defense has been solid all year and which is why they have been so successful all these years.
