Several records were set, including most combined yards gained in an NFL game (1,151), fewest punts by both teams in a Super Bowl (one), and most points scored by a Super Bowl losing team (33) in this thriller!
The most famous moment of it all was undoubtedly when Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Nick Foles, who had so inspired their run to the big game after the late-season injury to starter Carson Wentz, dialled up the 'Philly Special' with head coach Doug Pederson shortly before half-time.
Faced with a fourth-and-goal, on the one-yard line, with 38 seconds left in the half, the play call saw running back Corey Clement take a direct snap, pitch the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who then picked out a wide-open Foles in the right of the endzone.
It gave Philly a 22-12 lead at the break and they would hold on for a stunning 41-33 triumph over the Patriots.
