It happened! I witnessed it with my own eyes. The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl.
It was a simpler time. The year was 2018 and the Eagles were known as “The Underdogs.” A rag tag team led by a backup quarterback going against “The Greatest Of All Time.” But they did it! 41-33 and many in the city can now die happy. Relive the moments of the Super Bowl with this trip down memory lane
