Älskad och hatad Brady kan bli störst genom tiderna
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady har chansen att bli historisk när Super Bowl går av stapeln i natt. Vid seger blir Brady den första spelaren i amerikansk fotboll att vinna sex Super Bowl-titlar.
Brady är redan en av de största stjärnorna i USA:s idrottshistoria, vilket har gjort honom lika älskad av de egna fansen som hatad av rivalerna.
På andra sidan står Philadelphia Eagles med quarterbacken Nick Foles, som fick ta över efter att succéspelaren Carson Wentz skadat sig i slutet av grundserien.
Super Bowl börjar klockan 00.30 och sänds i TV3.
bakgrund
Super Bowl 2018
Wikipedia (en)
Super Bowl LII will be the 52nd Super Bowl and the 48th modern-era National Football League (NFL) championship game. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles will play the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots to decide the league champion for the 2017 NFL season.
The game is scheduled to be held on February 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It will be the second Super Bowl in Minneapolis, which previously hosted Super Bowl XXVI in 1992. It will be the sixth Super Bowl in a cold weather city, and Minneapolis will continue to be the northernmost city to host a Super Bowl.
A rematch of 2004's Super Bowl XXXIX, which was won by New England 24–21, Super Bowl LII is the first Super Bowl appearance for the Eagles since that game. The Patriots became the first team since the Seattle Seahawks (who made Super Bowls XLVIII and XLIX) to appear in two consecutive Super Bowls, having won Super Bowl LI in the previous season, and are also seeking to become the first team to repeat as Super Bowl victors since the Patriots themselves won Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX. Philadelphia is making its third appearance in the Super Bowl, having lost Super Bowls XV and XXXIX.
