Next Gen Stats: Post Super Bowl LII
The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 during Super Bowl LII. Take a look at which players are featured in this week's Next Gen Stats.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has been consistently effective when throwing into tight windows this season and that continued during Super Bowl LII as he threw 2 of his 3 touchdowns into tight windows.
With Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler out, New England Patriots cornerback Eric Rowe stepped in for him but had a rough time in covering, allowing a touchdown and a passer rating of 147.9.
Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount had himself quite a game on the ground when running the ball in '11' Personnel, as he averaged 11.0 yards per carry in Super Bowl LII. His success can also be attributed to his ability to generate significant yards after close in, gaining 6.0 such yards in Super Bowl LII, compared to an average of 4.5 in the regular season.
The depth of the Eagles defensive front was evident in this game, especially compared to the Patriots. In fact, the Eagles had six defenders with higher disruption rates than any Patriot in this game.
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was the most productive receiver in the league (135.3 passer rating) when targeted in the middle third of the field prior to Super Bowl LII, struggled finding any production (39.6 passer rating) in that area against the Eagles defense.
On the other side of the field, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz continued his dominance when being targeted in the middle third of the field in Super Bowl LII by hauling in 5 of 6 targets for 51 yards and a touchdown (141.6 passer rating).
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles has been at his best this season when throwing the ball in less than 2.50 seconds and that trend continued in a big way in Super Bowl LII, as he posted a passer rating of 135.3 (his best of the season) on throws under 2.50 seconds.
Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement was a difference-maker as a receiver out of the backfield in Super Bowl LII, catching all four of his targets for 100 yards and a touchdown (158.3 passer rating).
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor kept up his stellar play from the slot in the Super Bowl, reeling in 8 of his 10 targets from this alignment for 92 yards.
