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?

3. Two Plays Later, Foles Hits Agholor

Win Probability Swing: Eagles +19.14%

As a reminder, the Eagles' win odds were in the tubes at 22.99% before Ertz converted on fourth down. His catch put them up to 48.45%, meaning the Patriots were still the favorites. Then the Foles to Agholor connection got cooking.

After a run by LeGarrette Blount gained just one yard, the Eagles had a 2nd and 9 on their own 48. The win odds were back down to 41.71%. That's when Foles found Agholor for the first time on that drive, picking up 10 yards and a first down while moving the ball into Patriots territory.

As mentioned before, those two connected on each of the next two plays, as well. Over the span of just three plays, Agholor and Foles added 42.21 percentage points to the Eagles' win odds. Agholor is another player we shouldn't overlook when discussing the heroes of the game simply because of the work he did on this drive.

Before we get to the top play of the game, though, we do have to close the book on this drive. That means focusing on the play that almost brought the Eagles' season to an end.
