Super Bowl LII set with Patriots, Eagles

The Jacksonville Jaguars, with all of their defensive bluster, vehemently proclaimed they wouldn’t be wowed by the Patriots, and they allowed a 14-point fourth-quarter comeback to Tom Brady and company for a 24-20 loss in the AFC Championship Game.

Tom Brady is headed back to Minnesota for Super Bowl LII.

“My mom (Galynn) grew up in central Minnesota, a small town called Browerville”, Brady said.

Jacksonville entered the game with the best red-zone scoring percentage in National Football League, scoring touchdowns on 67.9 per cent of trips this season (40 on 56 drives).

“This moment, it’s unbelievable”. We all believe in each other. The doctors went in and checked it out and we did things just to kind of check on everything and fortunately, there wasn’t any damage that normally comes associated with that.

“I’ve enjoyed my four years in Jacksonville and I would love to play here for as long as they let me”, Bortles said, via the Florida Times-Union.

Oddsmakers at the William Hill chain also made the Patriots a 9-2 favorite to win next year’s Super Bowl in Atlanta. The tight end suffered the injury on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Jacksonville safety Barry Church. He added a 43-yarder 8 seconds into the fourth quarter to make it a 10-point game. Brady said he hopes to have the stitches removed from his hand this week. “That was a great second half”. Eagles team owner Jeffery Lurie stated “I’m so proud of our players, the resilience this group of men has is unequaled”.

“It was just a pretty good cut”.

“I’ve had a couple insane injuries, but this was pretty insane”, Brady said. I have a lot of respect for these people in this locker room. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday was a little scary. “I gained some confidence on Saturday and we did just enough to win”. He helped set up the touchdown with a 21-yard gain on a third-and-18 pass earlier in the series.

Amendola caught seven passes for 84 yards.

“It means a lot”. Before that, Brady started the game 6-for-6 for 57 yards on his first drive in leading New England to a field goal. The Vikes scored the game’s first touchdown on former St. Louis Rams quarterback’s Case Keenum’s pass to Kyle Rudolph.

Would Philadelphia’s Nick Foles be the most unlikely quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl? This is the Eagles’ first Super Bowl appearance since 2005, where they faced the Patriots as well. Dome-based teams fell to 0-13 in outdoor conference championship contests.
