The Eagles held off a dramatic second-half comeback from the New England Patriots to win 41-33, earning their first Super Bowl title in franchise history and handing Tom Brady and Bill Belichick their third defeat on the biggest stage.

Foles completed 28 of 43 passes for 373 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He also caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Trey Burton on a trick play.

The veteran quarterback was thrust into the starting role when Carson Wentz suffered a torn ACL in December, and he went on to outperform even the loftiest of expectations. Read More Here

The football world was treated to one of the best Super Bowl's of all-time Sunday, with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots combining for a record-breaking performance.

An offensive explosion saw the 41-33 final score mark the second-highest total in Super Bowl history, with a number of records falling.

Here are the four most impressive:

Most total yards in a game in NFL history

The two teams didn't just combine to break the Super Bowl record for most total yards in a game, but the 1,151 combined yards is the most ever in any game in NFL history. Both teams averaged more than 8.5 yards per pass and over five yards per rushing attempt.

Tom Brady's 466 yards passing in last year's dramatic win over the Atlanta Falcons set a new Super Bowl record and the legendary pivot did even better against the Eagles. Brady finished with a stunning 505 yards passing, the most ever by a quarterback in postseason history. He also became the first player in NFL history to top the 400-yard passing mark in the Super Bowl multiple times.

Tom Brady tops Super Bowl passing mark: All 17 records broken in Eagles-Patriots

Although Tom Brady won't be taking the Lombardi Trophy home this year, he did etch his name into the record book with his 505-yard passing performance against the Eagles. The passing record was one of 29 records that the two teams broke (17) or tied (12) on Sunday during Philadelphia's wild 41-33 win over New England at U.S. Bank Stadium.  

Of those 29 records, seven of them were personally tied or broken by Brady. The 505-yard passing performance broke a record that Brady just set last year against the Falcons. In the Patriots' 34-28 win over Atlanta, Brady threw for 467 yards. 

Brady also extended many of his career records. In eight Super Bowl games, Brady has racked up more career passing attempts (357), completions (235) and passing yards (2,576) than any other player in Super Bowl history. Brady also has more Super Bowl passing touchdowns (18) than any other player in NFL history. 

With the nonstop offensive fireworks on Sunday, the Patriots and Eagles managed to combine to break multiple records. The two teams set the Super Bowl record for most combined total yards (1,151) and most combined passing yards (874). The 1,151-yard total actually represents the most yards in any NFL game, including the regular season and playoffs.
