That’s when Brandon Graham delivered one of the few defensive highlights in the most prolific offensive game in NFL history Tytus Howard Jersey , ripping the ball out of Brady’s hands for a fumble that gave the Philadelphia Eagles their first Super Bowl title in franchise history with a 41-33 victory on Sunday night.

”When the fourth quarter came we had to go out there and make a stop,” Graham said. ”As a defense we hadn’t been doing it all game. The offense carried us all the way through. At the end of the day we kept coming.”

Rookie Derek Barnett recovered the loose ball and Eagles fans began celebrating their first title since winning the 1960 NFL championship in what proved to be a surprise ending.

Brady had made the late-game comeback a specialty in winning a record five Super Bowl titles, including last year’s rally from 28-3 down to beat Atlanta in overtime. He also led late game-winning scoring drives to beat the Rams, Carolina and Seattle.

The Eagles showed no sign of slowing Brady down on Sunday as he threw for a playoff-record 505 yards and three touchdowns, carving up the defense at will on a night when the Patriots did not punt once or turn it over until Brady’s late fumble with New England on its 33 with just more than two minutes remaining and poised for a comeback.

That’s when Graham beat Shaq Mason off the line and reached his left hand out for Brady just before he was set to throw. Graham knocked the ball loose.

”I knew I had a one-on-one with the guard,” Graham said. ”I knew he likes to be aggressive so I tried to act like I was pulling. I snatched it right off and Tom Brady’s arm was right there and I went for the ball.”

Barnett landed on it in what will go down as one of the most memorable plays in Philadelphia history.

”BG made the play to win it,” Barnett said. ”It was a good bounce. Right into my hands.”

The fumble set up a field goal that gave the Eagles an eight-point lead and then the game ended when Brady’s desperation heave for Gronkowski in the end zone fell to the turf, sending green and white confetti to the field Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , emotional Eagles pouring out on the field and Brady on the ground in frustration.

The Eagles defense had offered little resistance for the first 57 minutes as the Patriots moved the ball on every drive, getting stopped only on a missed field goal by Stephen Gostkowski and a failed fourth-down attempt one play after Brady dropped a pass from Danny Amendola on a trick play.

But the Patriots had scored three straight touchdowns to open the second half to take their first lead of the game at 33-32 and still were in position to win after Nick Foles gave the Eagles a 38-33 lead on a TD pass to Zach Ertz.

”We stuck together,” defensive lineman Fletcher Cox said. ”Nobody panicked. We knew what we had to do to stop him. We knew it would come down to a couple of plays. We’ve been through the situation before. Guys just stepped up and make plays.”

Graham was the one who delivered, providing a defensive exclamation point in a game that featured a record 1,151 yards of offense by both teams, including 613 for the Patriots.

”They made one good play at the right time,” Brady said.

We’ve seen a good amount of football be played, and we know that some players just don’t have it anymore Ugo Amadi Jersey , while other players need a new team. Players struggle, it’s a part of the game. But when players struggle, there has to be a reason behind it. So, we’re going to try and see what the reasoning behind it is. Some players are young and were put into a bad spot when they were drafted, and other players just got stuck in bad positions throughout their career.Sometimes, you see players that are late in their career find new homes and succeed. It’s rare, but it happens. Look at Ryan Fitzpatrick to start this season, as he looked like one of the best quarterbacks in the league. There are times where players finally find a team that they fit in towards the end of their career and play better. Case Keenum was a career backup until last season when he showed the world that he’s worth being a starting quarterback. It’s just interesting to see how things pan out.And then Devin White Jersey , of course, there are those players who have no gas left in the tank. Football takes a lot out of you, and eventually, it comes to an end. Even the legendary Peyton Manning hit a point in his career where he just wasn’t good enough to compete anymore. It’s not the way NFL fans want to see a player’s career end, but sometimes it needs to happen. So, who’s next?
