Tom Brady and Nick Foles went head-to-head in an offensive shootout during Super Bowl 52. Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles came out on top 41 – 33.
Pink opened with the National Anthem, and Justin Timberlake headlined the halftime show.
1,151 total yards were gained between the two teams… which is over 200 yards more than the highest yardage in modern Super Bowl history, making the game notably intense for football fans all over the world.
Records were tied, and records were set. The list of new records below was compiled by Elias Sports Bureau.

It was also the first time in a Super Bowl that Tom Brady dropped a flea-flicker (a trick play in which the wide receiver passes the ball to the QB) from Danny Amendola, and it was the first time the Philadelphia Eagles have ever won the Super Bowl.
Brady snubbed Foles in the usual quarterback-to-quarterback handshake after the game. And talk of Brady’s retirement buzzed the internet.
Brady says he wants two more rings before the 40-year-old quarterback retires.
But to be perfectly honest, after being a fan of NFL football for nearly 4 decades of my life, I didn’t even watch it.
Many people didn’t. In fact, more than 3 million fans that were watching in 2015 have apparently found something better to do with their time.
The Eagles/Patriots Super Bowl had the lowest ratings of any Super Bowl since 2009, and I personally believe it is because of how politicized and culturally divisive the NFL has become.
A game which was once enjoyable for every walk of life has been sucked into the political agendas which seem to have been dividing this nation for nearly a decade.
Because of this frustration so many are feeling today… and throughout the season… it was the first Super Bowl I have ever missed since I was a child of six years old.
But I did make a prediction:
I predicted that the Eagles would win… not because I knew anything about their stats, or because I took a stab at the over/under on the Vegas line for the underdog. I predicted that they Eagles would win because I see similarities of the big game in our culture. I predicted that they would win because it is the end of one era and the beginning of a new one.
While we have seen the Patriots at the Super Bowl ten times in the last 15 years with 5 wins and 5 losses, we have also seen the cheating, the deflated game balls, the illegal scouting of other teams’ play-calling methods, and the suspensions for such behavior. Frankly, the Patriots are the most hated team in the NFL because of their corruption, and the fans are getting sick and tired of it.
Likewise, it is… off-the-field in the culture of everyday life with the corruption in government, media, and Hollywood. 
The people are getting tired of it… so tired that the era for corruption is ending, and it is time for the underdogs to rise up, and to take their rightful positions… perhaps for the first time.
You see, the Patriots represent those who cheated to get to the top, and the Eagles represent those who will see far and fly high above the corruption of their predecessors. The time has come. The new era has arrived. And the Super Bowl was symbolic (as it is every year) with so many (111.3) millions of people watching.
Which brings me to my next prediction…
Brady will never get his “two more rings.” His era is over.
