"This is like they are playing basketball. What happened to the excellent defences? What happened to the Philadelphia pressure? I don't know what is going on!"
BBC pundit Osi Umenyiora, a two-time Super Bowl winner, pretty much summed up the emotion that came with watching a game in which offense was king.
The Eagles had been widely viewed as underdogs before the game, with New England seeking a third title in four years.
Add in the fact most of the Eagles' players were appearing in their first Super Bowl - their entire 53-man roster had seven appearances in the showpiece between them, a number matched by Brady alone - and the gulf in their respective pedigrees became all too clear.
Yet when the game kicked off, there was nothing to choose between them.
The two sides traded early field goals from Jake Elliott and Stephen Gostkowski before the Eagles scored the first touchdown when Foles found Alshon Jeffery for a spectacular catch.
Blount powered over to make it 15-3 after Brady's agonising fumble, but the Patriots reduced the deficit with a James White touchdown before Foles delivered his party trick, turning receiver just before half-time.
The scoring continued at breakneck pace in the second half with Rob Gronkowski adding two touchdowns for the Patriots and Chris Hogan another, but the Eagles were matching them punch for punch as Foles found Corey Clement with a clinical pass before Ertz's score and another Elliott field goal preceded a grandstand finish.
