MINNEAPOLIS — This night will be remembered for decades in Philadelphia, when old friends reminisce about where they were on Feb. 4, 2018, and parents tell their children about the moment the Eagles won their first Super Bowl. They’ll remember when Doug Pederson called the trick play at the goal line, when Zach Ertz dove into the end zone in the fourth quarter, when Brandon Graham stripped Tom Brady of the ball, and when the greatest dynasty in NFL history fell to an improbable champion from Philadelphia.

The Eagles won the Super Bowl. You can read that again. It’s not going away. The Eagles beat the Patriots, 41-33, at U.S. Bank Stadium to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history. A team with a backup quarterback and with players who wore underdog masks throughout the playoffs because they were never favored to win sent Brady and Bill Belichick home with a Super Bowl loss.

“I would like to dedicate this for all Eagles fans around the world,” team owner Jeffrey Lurie said.

When Nick Foles connected with Ertz for a touchdown with 2 minutes, 21 seconds remaining to give the Eagles a five-point lead, the euphoria of a fourth-quarter lead combined with the anxiety prompted by knowing Brady was on the other sideline. The greatest quarterback in NFL history had the ball and a chance to win — and the Eagles didn’t let him. Graham pushed through the Patriots’ offensive line and drove Brady down, popping the ball loose. Rookie Derek Barnett recovered the fumble.

A late field goal gave the Eagles an eight-point lead, and Brady had no magic left. Green confetti fell from above, the players experienced a joy they believed all week would come, and the fans who made the trek to Minnesota were louder than they’ve ever sounded.

“I’m going to tell you something: I have the best players in the world. This is a resilient group.” Pederson said.

Foles finished 28 of 43 for 373 yards, three passing touchdowns, and one receiving touchdown and was named MVP of the game. Tom Brady went 28 of 43 for 505 yards and three touchdowns.

“I felt calm, we have such a great group of guys, such a great coaching staff. We felt confident going in,” Foles said.

The Eagles jumped to a 22-12 lead in the first half, including two touchdowns that will be remembered in Eagles history. The first came when Foles faked a handoff and passed deep to the left corner of the end zone to Alshon Jeffery, who made an acrobatic catch over former Eagle Eric Rowe. Jeffery was signed during the offseason to be the Eagles’ No. 1 wide receiver, and though he didn’t put up Pro Bowl numbers this season, he showed how he is a difference-maker in the Super Bowl. After a prime-time game in Dallas earlier this season, Jeffery said: “Big-time game, big-time players make big plays.” The Super Bowl would qualify.

And then before halftime, Pederson kept his offense for one of the best plays in Super Bowl history. After driving to the Patriots’ 1-yard line with 38 seconds remaining, Pederson elected to keep his offense on the field on fourth down. Those who haven’t seen the Eagles this season might have been surprised. But Pederson has been aggressive all year, and he wasn’t going to stop in the Super Bowl. He’s a fearless play-caller, and he made the boldest call of his career.

Jason Kelce snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement, who pitched it to Trey Burton, who threw the pass to a wide-open Foles. Yes, Foles caught a touchdown. Brady dropped a pass earlier in the game on a Patriots trick play. Foles showed he has the better hands, catching the ball for a 1-yard score to give the Eagles a 10-point margin. The Eagles did not call that play all season, and Pederson put it in the game plan for one of the biggest moments on the biggest stage.

While Justin Timberlake performed at halftime, the Patriots had an extended time to figure out how to attack the Eagles in the second half. They decided to do it by looking for tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was targeted five times on the opening drive of the half, including for a 5-yard touchdown to cut the Eagles’ lead to three points.

The Eagles answered right back, going 85 yards on 11 plays. They converted two third downs, with the most impressive resulting in a touchdown. Foles found Clement for a 22-yard score in which Clement tiptoed on the blue paint to stay in bounds.

But even with a 10-point lead, there was little reason to think it was big enough. Brady’s been in that situation before. He found every soft spot in the Eagles defense, and the pass rush that was supposed to give the Eagles their edge wasn’t hitting Brady, and the Patriots scored again.

It seemed as if the teams would need touchdowns — not field goals. So when the Eagles settled for a 42-yard field goal to take a 32-26 lead, the Patriots could take the lead. Brady again drove the Patriots to a touchdown, and he was barely acquainted with the Eagles’ pass rushers on the drive. He found Gronkowski for a 4-yard touchdown to take a 33-32 lead with more than nine minutes remaining. It was the Patriots’ first lead of the game.

The Eagles have been applauded all year for their resiliency. That showed in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. Foles was the clutch quarterback Sunday, with a fourth-down conversion extending the drive before he found Ertz crossing the middle of the field for the decisive touchdown. It was confirmed as a score only after a lengthy review. The ball popped out of Ertz’s hands when he reached forward into the end zone, but the officials determined he was a runner by that point, and the Eagles were ahead.

“If they would have overturned that, I don’t what would have happened in the city of Philadelphia,” Ertz said.

The Eagles failed to convert a two-point conversion, and Brady had his chance to show the magic that has defined his career. Graham forced New England’s first turnover of the game, and what seemed like a dream became a reality.

The Eagles, at long last, won their first Super Bowl.
