FOURTH QUARTER
QBs come up with clutch completions ... Ertz TD review a key moment ... Elliott kicks in with final points
Philly cashes in on a late thirdquarter drive by kicking a field goal ... New England runs a balanced offence, mixing in run when it’s been predominantly going with a pass ... Very nifty out-catch by Chris Hogan
forces third and short ... Philly sends pressure, but quick to Danny Amendola sets up new set of downs ... On next down, Tom Brady once again finds Amendola as he goes across formation ... Third straight pass to Amendola puts Pats inside 10 ... James White run up middle moves the chain as drive reaches its 10th play ... Brady’s best throw is a fade route Rob Gronkowski hauls in with Eagles in man coverage for a TD ... Point after gives Pats first lead of game ... Big-time throw on third down by Nick Foles results in a first-down as he exceeds 300-yard passing yards ... Another third down, this one requiring one yard, but once again Pats defence makes a play ... Clutch throw by Foles to Zach Ertz
on fourth-down gamble, head coach Doug Pederson showing his mettle once again reinforcing how he’s unafraid to roll the dice ... With 4:53 to go, it’s a one-point game ... Foles playing like a stud, throwing on run as Eagles move slowly into scoring range ... Another great throw by Foles gets Eagles even deeper ... Yet another is-it-a-catch, isn’t-it-a-catch play unfolds involving Ertz in the end zone on a review that took forever, ultimately ruled as a score, Ertz ruled a runner after he caught the pass ... Two-point convert fails as Pats trail by five with 2:21 to go ... Pats take over, their fourth possession of the second half having scored three TDs in previous three possessions ... On second down of fourth possession, Eagles record their first sack, strip the ball from Brady and recovery inside Pats’ 40, New England’s first turnover ... Philadelphia, predictably, tries to run the clock by running the ball, but the Pats defence is stout up front, forcing third down as game’s most critical play about to unfold. Philly runs it, gets stopped and is forced to attempt a field goal. Jake Elliott converts as Brady now needs to go the length of the field, score a TD and convert the two points ... It wasn’t meant to be as Philly wins its first Super Bowl in three franchise attempts.
