For much of the fourth quarter Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, Super Bowl LII appeared headed for another Tom Brady-Bill Belichick coronation. After Brady guided the Patriots to a 33-32 lead, Nick Foles — our favorite backup quarterback-turned-star this side of Case Keenum — had an answer. The soon-to-be MVP led a 75-yard drive, culminating in tight end Zach Ertz's lunge into the end zone (pictured) with 2:21 to play, lifting the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory.
