Did they just cancel holding on offensive linemen? I don't remember seeing it called the entire postseason.

Patriots have 1 penalty tonight They only had 1 penalty last week. TWICE in the playoffs this year.

The last time a playoff team had only 1 penalty called on them? 2011. You guessed it........... the Patriots.

Chris Hogan got drilled on the final play which all Pats fans noticed. So that brings missed calls to 1 million to 1 in the Patriots favor.

So as someone who had volunteered for several shifts over the past two weeks, this thing was insane. My final shift yesterday morning was working the "bold north" zip line. The first zip line to completely cross the Mississippi river... and we were out there at 8am when it was -10ish on the river with a good gust of wind (-25ish wind chill).

Saturday was spent outside all day at Target Field and at the Super Bowl LIVE public entertainment area. X Ambassadors was the headliner for the free concert. Naturally it snowed all day with temps hovering around 10 degrees. Saturday evening was spent outside at the annual Winter Carnival in St Paul (10ish minute walk from our apartment in downtown St Paul). Their ice castle this year was terrific.

Mrs. Swirls' uncle is a lifelong Eagles fan who lives in the DC metro and is an Eagles season ticket holder. He snagged a ticket a week ago ($2500 + $500 in StubHub fees) and arrived Friday evening. He appreciated a free air mattress to sleep on, was dumbfounded at how much we enjoyed being outside for the entire freaking day when it was below zero outside, and had the absolute time of his life at the game last night.

Now that the Eagles have won a Super Bowl the NFC East is the only division in all of football where every one of its members has won a Super Bowl. With only 4 team divisions you wouldn't think that it would be so hard to accomplish.

Cardinals’ last NFL Title was 1948.

52 Super Bowls and 32 teams means they’d have to be pretty evenly distributed for every team to have won one.
