Philadelphia and Minnesota are the two winningest teams to never win a Super Bowl the second ticket to Super Bowl 52 would be punched by one of two unlikely quarterbacks who both started the season as the backup to the throne [Music] it starts at signal Case Keenum wasn't even drafted come out of Houston but he's been so good [Applause] the Minnesota Vikings have not been to the Super Bowl in more than four decades there is a great opportunity to flip the script Hey the Vikings have lost their last five NFC Championship appearances some call it a curse if Case Keenum proved anything this season it's that he could be the one to break the spell Case Keenum in the Minnesota Vikings offense will start [Applause] it's Japanese at Lincoln Financial Field [Applause] [Music] it's a hurry it's a swing left to the latavius Murray case cans big reason why this team is here and we've seen his confidence grow each and every week he has really put the city and the team on his back moving the Eagles defense in Reverse [Applause] we played four minutes in the first quarter no score but the Vikings driving to the eagle it's another first down for the Vikings against a defense that has allowed five touchdowns in the last six home games and nine points per game [Applause] [Music] [Applause] opening up the game with how electric that crowd was and going down to scorn we felt good and you know felt like we were on track for want to be brilliant set up by the offense you take latavius Murray you set him outside [Applause] you see the reaction by the defense and the confusion as to how they're going to get this covered up when the ball is snapped they're still trying to communicate what the call is defensively and they've never really got it and naughty good number - is getting a story - Danelle hell no idea what exactly he's going to coverage and by the time he realizes what's happening while they're trying to sort it out Abel's defense right Court statistically in the NFL they did not look it all that dry we talked about this vociferous loud lincoln financial crowd all week what a brilliant way to silence it no question about it [Music] trailing seven nothing the NFC Championship game did not begin the way the underdog Eagles had envisioned these football games you just have to weather the storm early in the game there's a lot of emotion going on both sides hey let's go to us let's go to us hey you know how it go everything to calm down now we straight just got to kind of settle down you know once you ride that wave of emotion that just becomes football after that kada takes the snap here comes the lush Ethan it's picked off by Robinson Robinson much Patrick Robinson once [Music] gravity [Music] [Applause] Roundhill any kid [Music] Chris Long's pressure generated the interception but it was a block by a cornerback that converted the turnover into points he's basically out of the play he comes back into the picture block on Jerick McKinnon that allows Patrick Robinson to get in the end zone [Music] [Music] that was a huge playing against once we got that and we kind of even asked or back up it was okay that was our restart LeGarrette Blount touchdown gave the Eagles the lead but the Vikings still had confidence [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and Kate's goes on a deep drop fires right wide open 35 [Music] that's another Minnesota Vikings first down case keenum had the Vikings offense back in rhythm for first downs put Minnesota in a position to score Billy's defense would need to dig in to keep the charging Vikings out of the end zone 11th play of a possession that's gone 69 yards [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] kata pie [Music] and Philadelphia's turned over the mic it's again it was a strip sack that was caused by Derek Barnett these guys coming off the edge they cannot be stopped Morgan is gonna come across and try to seal [Applause] [Music] but he's got that kind of space and you're asking it's big tied in to try to come across and get a guy like Barnett off the end just not much of a match what a great defensive the turning point got chilly the ball back and kept Keenum from throwing a potential game-tying touchdown [Music] this is a 10-play Drive by the Minnesota Vikings and they end up getting that takes a lot out of your football team case Keinath never even had a chance never even had a change major turning point in this game it was huge those are you know big swings and points and you know at the end of the day we didn't get really I don't think any turnovers last week and we knew that turnovers were going to be a big part of this thing the Philadelphia Eagles are nine and O this year when they are plus two in the take give and that's exactly what they are right now we go get if you die you got to go up 21-7 right now 21-7 in is our gang with just over a minute to play in the second quarter it was still anybody's game all eyes were focused on the Eagles backup quarterback and Nick Foles picked a good day to have a great game those steps up he is looking a is going deep [Music] [Applause] and the underdogs are once again Park [Music] ethnic goals head up from 53-yard touch always work [Music] [Applause] ouch shot Jeffrey was wild perfectly delivered football bowls looks very very confident everyone was just locked in I'm gonna say it again like we lean on each other we play for each other and that's what's special about this team quarterback holds a ball this long you are not going to get the ball down the field and to have the arm strength I mean he hits them in stride he's open but it's not easy to do when you're that late on the throw it it's pretty much all a great job we were ready for the challenge our guys didn't go out there and play with fear we won't play aggressive we believe in each other we lean on each other and we knew we could make some big plays on the opening drive of the second half the Eagles look to deliver the knockout blow [Music] it's a flea-flicker back the pose he's going deep down the far side of the field [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh it is an amazing day [Music] [Music] those plays you just don't like grasping at straws rather thin oh you just don't pull them out so I think I'm gonna run it this week there's got to be a reason for running a gadget play and felt like we'd get it we'd get an opportunity to at least attempt the play they did a great job of sort of stepping up and slide right and then what what a finish want to catch by Tory and it's great when they were Hey [Applause] I don't know if I've ever run a flea-flicker so it's my first time so I just tried not to smile cuz I mean anytime you're quarterbacking do a little play like that I'm it's pretty exciting and sometimes they go really bad so I'm just glad it worked and you know we're testing [Applause] [Music] hold but he looks he fires and it is caught deep for the end zone by Jeffrey touchdown Wow yes in Philadelphia at one of their best offensive games of the year Foles 352 passing yards were the most by an Eagles quarterback this season and his 141 point four passer rating was the third best all-time in a conference championship game during the Christmas season there was a big billboard on the expressway that said it dick We Trust and tonight we're finding out pretty shot they also serve [Music] [Applause] for the first time in 13 years the Eagles are headed for the Super Bowl and a rematch with the New England Patriots and Super Bowl 52 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] in the
