The Philadelphia Eagles have beaten the New England Patriots 41-33 to claim their first Super Bowl win.
In a record-setting shootout between Nick Foles of the Eagles, and Tom Brady, the Eagles backup quarterback led a pressure-packed 75-yard drive to the winning touchdown, 11 yards to Zach Ertz with 2:21 to go.
“If there's a word (it's) called everything,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “That's what it means to Eagles fans everywhere. And for Eagles fans everywhere, this is for them.”
“I felt calm. I mean, we have such a great group of guys, such a great coaching staff,” Foles - who won the game's Most Valuable Player award - said. “We felt confident coming in, and we just went out there and played football.”
The Patriots were looking to win back-to-back Super Bowls, after their stunning comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons last year.
The Eagles, meanwhile, headed into the game having been crowned NFC champions following a dominant 38-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Patrick Chung, New England's box safety, is going off the field with the trainers. Eagles are at 3rd and 1.
Big throw and good catch by Ertz. Eagles move to 3rd & 6 at the 22.
ANOTHER huge play from Corey Clement! Wow. We are waiting for a review, but that looks good to my eye. Caught over his shoulder at the back of the end zone.
We were missing a review looking at the catch rule, but think this will be a touchdown.
Another incomplete for Brady from the near the Patriots 30, but flag on the play.
