Eagles Win Epic Super Bowl
C ontinueD from P age 7
the trophy was presented to owner
Jeffrey Lurie. Later, fans danced
along with the “Gonna Fly Now,”
the theme from “Rocky,” the city’s
best-known fictional underdog.
The Patriots (15-4) seemed
ready to take their sixth champi-
onship with Brady and coach Bill
Belichick in eight Super Bowls.
Brady threw for a game-record
505 yards and three TDs, hitting
Rob Gronkowski for 4 yards be-
fore Stephen Gostkowski’s extra
point gave New England its first
lead, 33-32.
Then Foles made them forget
Wentz — and least for now — with
the gutsiest drive of his life, includ-
ing a fourth-down conversion to
Ertz at midfield.
Foles has been something of a
journeyman in his six pro seasons,
but has been spectacular in four ca-
reer playoff games. He finished 28
of 43 for 373 yards and three TDs.
The combined 1,151 yards were
the most in any modern NFL game,
and Brady’s 505 were the most in
Community Reading Project
any playoff contest. The 40-year-
old master finished 28 of 48 and
picked apart the Eagles until the
final two series.
It was such a wild game that
Foles caught a touchdown pass,
and Brady was on the opposite end
of a Danny Amendola throw that
went off his fingertips.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson
brought home the championship
in his second year in charge. Beli-
chick is 5-3 in Super Bowls and his
teams have only a plus-4 overall
margin in those games.

available through libraries across
Multnomah County, including
e-books and audio books. High
schools and organizations serv-
ing youth will receive about
2,000 of those copies.
Hamid will speak on Thurs-
day, April 5 at 7:30 pm at the Ar-
lene Schnitzer Concert Hall. This

Arts; tickets are available from

“Exit West examines many
of the questions – of safety,
fate, belonging, otherness – that
surround us today,” said Direc-
tor of Libraries Vailey Oehlke.
“Moshin Hamid takes concepts
that we sometimes treat in ab-
stract or clinical terms and wash-
es them in humanity to help us
think and feel differently. Exit
West is an incredible work.”
Mohsin Hamid is a Pakistani
writer. He is the author of four
novels and his writing has been
featured on bestseller lists and
adapted for the cinema.
Together, we do good things.
