Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles beats Tom Brady to Super Bowl MVP
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was named MVP of Super Bowl LII.
Foles accounted for four touchdowns to help lead the Eagles to a 41-33 win over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he wanted to stay aggressive against the Patriots and allow Foles to get the ball to his playmakers.
Foles not only did that with 373 passing yards and three touchdowns, but he made plays too. He caught a one-yard touchdown pass in the first half off a trick play that gave the Eagles a 22-12 lead.
YUP. Nick Foles is catching TD passes.
In the @superbowl.
