This is not a drill. But I will say this about the bet: It will make each and every play interesting, from 4th-ands with time winding down in the fourth quarter to extra-point attempts in the third quarter of a blowout.
Simple handoff? Still fun. A pitch, a pass behind the line of scrimmage, a wildcat formation? Edge-of-your-seat fun. The question, of course, is will a third? The last one was of course the Philly Special back in above. Before that, it was in when Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Tavaris Jackson threw a pass.
Before that, you have to go back to , when Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antwaan Randle-El a college quarterback at Indiana completed a yard touchdown to Hines Ward. In , Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tony Banks threw a pass.
And then, in , five different players threw a pass. You could bet the under at , but what fun is that? Furthermore, looking at the two teams actually playing the game, Tom Brady threw all the passes for the Buccaneers outside of Blaine Gabbert, who threw 16 passes — one in week 6 when they blew out Green Bay, and 15 in week 16 when they whomped the Lions. As for the Chiefs? A little bit better. Chad Henne had two games where he came on in a blowout, plus week 17 and coming on for the injured Patrick Mahomes in their divisional round playoff game against the Browns.
Other than that? Tricky, those four. So the Bucs, no trickery. The Chiefs, four times. But also again: Every single play will have that little bit of excitement. Then, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo devised a masterful scheme presenting Brady with constant pressure up the middle. The game was setting up Brady for the greatest game-winning drive in NFL history, wasn't it?
The Patriots led when they lined up for the extra point. But the chaos was far from over. After the play was over, the game was tied at The Eagles blocked the extra point. Malcolm Jenkins scooped up the loose ball, dodged Brian Hoyer who did his best Brady tackling impression , and returned it the other way for the tying two points with less than a minute remaining in the Super Bowl. You can't make this up. Here it is, the moment the Eagles tied the Super Bowl with a blocked extra point return in the final minute:.
To make matters worse for the Patriots, the Eagles then had a chance to win the game. But they stopped them near midfield, which meant only one thing: Overtime, again.
The Patriots won the coin toss and took the ball, but went three-and-out. The Eagles drove to the edge of field goal range and had a decision to make on fourth-and-1 at the yard line: Go for the first down or kick a yard field goal the same distance as Gostkowski's made field goal at the end of the first half. Pederson chose to kick it. Jake Elliott missed. The Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl since and their second straight walk-off championship when Brady hit Danny Amendola for a yard touchdown up the middle of the field.
In the process, the Eagles learned something every team learns by playing the Patriots: If you give Brady a clean pocket, he'll disembowel you. Brady won MVP by completing 31 of his 43 passes for yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a It's worth noting that of his yards came on his final two touchdowns.
Up until that point, he really wasn't all that great. But this is Brady we're talking about. It's certainly not the first time he has overcome a poor start to rally his team to victory.
He picked up rushing yards and a touchdown on 28 carries 4. Meanwhile, Cooks exploded for yards on six catches with 87 of his yards coming on that fourth-quarter touchdown that should've been the winning score.
For the Eagles, Foles played as well as they could've hoped, going 18 of 33 for yards, one touchdown, no picks and a Like Lewis, Ajayi averaged 4. Foles, who took over quarterback duties earlier in the season when starter Carson Wentz went down with an injury, was named Super Bowl MVP after throwing for yards and three touchdowns.
The Eagles responded by scoring the final nine points, clinching a 41—33 victory and their first Super Bowl win in team history. The Patriots got off to a rough start, lagging behind the Falcons by 25 points by the third quarter. In an exciting fourth quarter, the Patriots came out on top in overtime, ending the game 34— The Denver Broncos found victory over the Carolina Panthers , beating them 24— The Broncos advanced to the Bowl with a 12—4 regular-season record.
The Broncos took the lead early and kept it, never trailing throughout the game. The Seahawks came off a strong regular season, where they held a 12—4 record, the same record as the Patriots. The teams were tied 14—14 at halftime. The Seahawks then brought themselves up 10 points by the end of the third quarter.
