The Eagles are playing the New England Patriots, who are trying to win their sixth Super Bowl with quarterback Tom Brady.

Winning the NFL MVP award might not be a great omen for Tom Brady.

The past eight winners of the AP MVP award to reach the Super Bowl have lost the game, including Brady in the 2007 season against the New York Giants.

The other MVPs to lose the big game since Kurt Warner did the regular season-Super Bowl MVP double in the 1999 season for the Rams are: Warner (2001), Rich Gannon (2002), Shaun Alexander (2005), Peyton Manning (2009 and 2013) Ryquell Armstead Jersey , Cam Newton (2015) and Matt Ryan (2016).

Brady would rather join Warner, Steve Young (1994), Emmitt Smith (1993), Joe Montana (1989), Terry Bradshaw (1978) and Bart Starr (1966) as the players to win the regular season and Super Bowl MVPs in the same season.

After beating the Patriots, it seemed the Titans were back to the form that saw them off to a 3-1 start.But after taking a thrashing from the Colts, it’s hard to figure where they’re headed, at 5-5 and the very picture of inconsistency.But Titans coach Mike Vrabel said he wasn’t about to change his approach, believing his team was still very viable.“I don’t think we ever do that Nick Bosa Jersey ,” Vrabel said, via Erik Bacharach of the . “If you’re asking me whether I’m confident in what we’re going to be doing, the answer is yes.“Listen, we’re not dead, guys. We’re 5-5.”Vrabel joked about the “funeral” for the Titans after their 38-10 loss to the Colts, a 28-point loss which followed a 24-point win over the Patriots. If anything Dwayne Haskins Jersey , he was clinging to the notion that his team was a resilient one.“Whether we beat the Patriots or we beat somebody by a field goal, or you win by three touchdowns or lose by three touchdowns, you lose on the last play of the game, they all mean the same,” Vrabel said. “They may feel differently, but at the end of the day http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/marquise-brown-jersey-cheap , they all mean and end up the same thing.“The season is not over. It was a bad game. It was a bad game coaching and playing in all three phases, and we have to do a better job.” That has to start as soon as these guys get in here [on Monday].”The team they’re facing next hasn’t had to answer such questions, as the Texans have won seven in a row, leading to no questions as to whether they have a pulse.
