Has there ever been such an uneven Super Bowl? The Philadelphia Eagles head into Sundays game as severe underdogs against a New England team that looks to become the greatest dynasty the NFL has ever seen.

Tom Brady vs. Nick Foles doesn’t seem to be a fair matchup. The Patriots QB is looking for his sixth championship and has 36 Playoff games under his belt, while the latter wasn’t even the starter (Carson Wentz´s injury forced him into the role) at the start of the season and only has a total of 49 career games.
A win at the U.S. Bank Stadium would put the Patriots in the same category as the Steelers: the only two teams to have ever won six Super Bowls. On the other side, the Eagles squad is eager to bring the city of Philadelphia its first ever Vince Lombardi trophy.
If experience would define the champion, then give the Patriots their rings already. New England will play their 10 th Super Bowl, they have appeared in 7 of the last 15 and are looking to win two in a row, something that has only been done by the Green Bay Packers (I-II), Miami Dolphins (VII-VIII), Pittsburgh Steelers (IX-X and XII-XIV), San Francisco 49ers (XXIII-XXIV), Dallas Cowboys (XXVII-XXVIII), Denver Broncos (XXXII-XXXIII) and themselves (XXXIX-XL).
Besides trying to end New England’s tremendous run, Philadelphia wants revenge. The last time the Eagles played a Super Bowl was in 2004. They ended up losing 24-21 against Tom Brady and company, a game that impacted both franchises.

Semana 1: Philadelphia inició el año con el pie derecho al vencer de visita a Washington.
Since then, the Eagles hadn’t advanced to another Super Bowl and only played six times in the Playoffs. New England, well you all know that story.
Philadelphia has in its hands the opportunity to change the course of the NFL. A surprising win would be the greatest payback and the start of a new era, but most importantly, it would slow down the Patriots dynasty.
