The 10 Biggest Plays of Super Bowl LII
Super Bowl LII was a thriller as the Philadelphia Eagles edged out the New England Patriots. Which plays had the biggest impact on the Eagles' road to victory?

1. Brandon Graham Etches His Name Into History

Win Probability Swing: Patriots -24.18%

You all knew this was coming. For a game that featured so much offense, it's fitting that the biggest play of the game was made by the Eagles' stout defensive line.

Brandon Graham forced it, and Derek Barnett scooped it up. When the Eagles needed them most, the big guys up front came through.

Prior to that play, the Patriots still had 29.44% odds of winning, which shows the respect that the algorithms have for Brady and his teammates. Not many teams are getting that big of a piece of the pie when they're trailing by five with 2:16 left. But after the fumble, the odds fell to 3.97%, all but clinching it for Philly.

Either this play or the Ertz touchdown will likely go down as the one that won it for the Eagles. But there were so many others that led to these moments that steadily pushed the needle in their favor. Graham, Barnett, and Foles all deserve accolades, but we also need to acknowledge the roles that Pederson, Agholor, and Ertz played along the way. Fittingly, it was a team victory for a unit that endured so much throughout the entire year.
