The 12th Player Wins Super Bowl 52 For Eagles











Football, more than any other sport depends on an extra player. This 12th player is always on the field and frequently is a major factor in who wins and who loses. Strangely enough in a game of manly men, the additional player is a lady and her name is luck. And as everybody knows this lady is very fickle. Lady Luck loves the Patriots much of the time: She certainly did in the 2017 Super Bowl. But this year Lady Luck became an Eagles fan. She helped the Eagles quarterback catch a pass while knocking the ball from Tom Brady's hands when he had a chance to make an important reception. She stuck her nose in where it wasn't wanted twice during key kicks, once on an extra point try and once on a failed field goal. Lady Luck gives and she takes - in the 2018 Super Bowl she took much more from the Pats game than she gave and ultimately that was why the Eagles won.

With that said, I must add that the Eagles won Super Bowl 52 because they played great, not because of good luck.  But I also think it's fair to say that the Patriots lost because of bad luck.
