History

Historical Context

In 2008, the New York Giants shocked the heavily favored New England Patriots 17–14 in Super Bowl XLII, a game marked by five penalties that stalled a crucial fourth-down attempt. That upset showed how penalty-laden, turnover-prone contests can overturn expectations, a pattern echoed in the 2024 Bears-Eagles clash where Chicago’s Case Keenum threw for 247 yards but Philadelphia’s mistakes proved decisive.
