Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles warms up on the field prior to the NFL Super Bowl LII football game against New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minn.

Philadelphia Eagles fans cheer in the stands prior to the NFL Super Bowl LII football game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minn.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) warms up. Brady has made the Super Bowl eight of his 16 full seasons as a starter (excludes 2008, torn ACL). Some events that are less likely than Brady's 50 percent rate of making the Super Bowl when healthy? Michael Jordan making a shot from the field (49.7 percent chance), Tim Tebow completing a pass (47.9 percent), or Barry Bonds getting on base (44.4 percent).

The Philadelphia Eagles run onto the field. The Eagles have just six players on the 53-man roster with Super Bowl experience, and the Patriots have 32. Since 1970, teams with more players with Super Bowl experience entering the game are 22-22 against the less experienced team (excludes three games where the teams were "tied" in experience).

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (4) kicks a 25-yard field for the game's opening points.
The team that scores first is 35-17 in the Super Bowl. Since 2010, the team that scores first is 6-1 in the Super Bowl (2016 Falcons are the lone exception)
The Eagles' 14-play opening drive was the second-most plays on a team's opening drive in Super Bowl history behind only the Giants' 15-play drive in their Super Bowl upset of the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII (both drives ended in FGs), per NFL Research.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (17) catches a 34-yard touchdown in front of New England Patriots cornerback Eric Rowe (25) for the game's first touchdown. Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (not pictured) missed the extra point.
Nick Foles' 34-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery was the longest TD pass allowed by the Patriots since Week 1 (Chiefs, both Tyreek Hill & Kareem Hunt). Jeffery is the first Eagles player since Fred Barnett (1992) to record multiple 30-plus yard receiving TDs in the same postseason, per NFL Research.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (9) throws the ball. Foles started 6 for 9 for 61 yards in the game's opening drive.

The Patriots had never scored in the first quarter in any of their Super Bowl appearances in the Brady-Belichick era until kicker Stephen Gostkowski (3) kicked a 26-yard field goal.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) throws the ball in the pocket. Brady went 4 of 6 for 58 yards on the Patriots' first possession of the game.

New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola (80) catches a 50-yard pass.
Amendola now has more career receptions of 50-plus yards in the postseason (3) than he does in the regular season (2), per NFL Research.

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount (29) carries the ball for 36 yards in front of New England Patriots strong safety Duron Harmon (30).
The Eagles improved to 8-0 this season (including playoffs) when the Jay Ajayi-LeGarrette Blount duo eclipses 100 combined scrimmage yards, per NFL Research.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) drops a pass thrown by wide receiver Danny Amendola.
Amendola's pass attempt to Tom Brady was just the third time Brady has ever been targeted as a receiver and the first to fall incomplete. Brady had previously caught both intended targets for 59 receiving yards, per NFL Research.

New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski (3) reacts after missing a 26-yard field.
Stephen Gostkowski's 26-yard miss is tied for the third-shortest missed field goal in the Super Bowl. Mike Cofer (19-yard miss for SF in SB XXIII) and Rich Karlis (23-yard miss for DEN in SB XXI) missed from shorter. Gostkowski is the first kicker to miss both an extra point and a field goal in a Super Bowl since Redskins kicker Mark Moseley did in Super Bowl XVIII (lost to Raiders), per NFL Research.

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount (29) celebrates after scoring on a 21-yard touchdown run. The Eagles could not convert on the two-point conversion attempt.
Blount has more rushing touchdowns in the postseason (11) than any player over the last 20 seasons (since 1998), per NFL Research.
The Patriots have trailed by double digits in each of their last three Super Bowls, including Sunday. They rallied to win the previous two (Falcons and Seahawks), per NFL Research.

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (34) carries the ball for a 46-yard gain in front of Philadelphia Eagles safety Corey Graham (24).

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles (9) catches a touchdown pass on fourth down.
Foles' 1-yard receiving touchdown was the first time a player has ever thrown and caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Foles is also the first QB with a receiving TD in the Super Bowl, and it was his first reception for a touchdown in his career (including playoffs), per NFL Research.
The 22 points scored by the Eagles in the first half are the most first-half points the Patriots have allowed in a Super Bowl in the Belichick/Brady era, per NFL Research.

New England Patriots running back James White (28) celebrates with wide receiver Danny Amendola (80) after scoring a touchdown on a 26-yard run.
White joined Roger Craig as the only players in NFL history with multiple rushing TDs and multiple receiving TDs in their Super Bowl careers, per NFL Research.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (30) runs after the catch for 55 yards.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (87) spikes the ball after scoring on a 5-yard catch.
Gronkowski finished the game with nine receptions, 116 receiving yards, 2 TDs. Only Pro Football Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (22), Emmitt Smith (21), Thurman Thomas (21), Franco Harris (17), and Marcus Allen (13) have more career postseason touchdowns than Gronkowski (12), per NFL Research.
