So what are all the records? So far I’ve got most combined yards ever in a SB, playoff game or ANY game 2nd highest point total in SB history (2nd to the 49ers v Chargers by a point) Most yards passing ever in a Superbowl (Brady) 1st time a QB has ever caught a TD pass in a SB game What else? ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > Longest FG by a rookie in a SB, which was a record broken twice tonight. Ah yes, by the guy the Bengals drafted in the 5th round, tried to hide on the practice squad and got plucked by the Eagles. Good use of a fifth rounder there, Bengals. ---

Well that was a corker. Congrats to Philly. Good game, some combination of great and godawful playing that I was having trouble making sense of. Did anyone pick the over in this game? Also, Blount playing against us was even worse than I thought it would be. The commercials: Dirty Dancing Eli and Odell for the win. ---

I heard on the radio earlier in the week that the over was something like 58 points. If you took that and threw down some cash, you got a nice payday. ---

He played most of the season to get them there, didn’t he? Yes, Wentz will get a ring. He started the Eagles’ first thirteen games. Generally, everyone on the roster (even on injured reserve) gets a ring, as well as the coaching staff, the training staff, and all of the front office people, as well. ---

Yeah, when our team won the SB, I recall even our local radio announcer got a ring (though, he had actually been on the team decades earlier). ---
