In order to beat a team like the Patriots, you have to bring your "A" game.
They did that. Tom Brady had one of the greatest Super Bowl performances a QB could ever have.
Not only did the Eagles play a near-mistake free game, they had an aggressive game plan. Unlike the Seahawks and Falcons, the Eagles are coached by an offensive-minded coach in Doug Pederson, a former backup quarterback to Brett Favre.
Pederson outcoached Bill Belichick. He coached like a former QB. It was a near-perfect game plan. Yes, they gave up a lot of yard to the Patriots, however, those big chunk plays limited the Patriots time of possession, and they couldn't capitalize with touchdowns in the first half.
Congrats.
