Congrats to Philly on winning the Super Bowl!

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on winning Super Bowl 52, 41-33 over New England.

And they did it on the backs of former St. Louis players, namely quarterback Nick Foles and D-lineman Chris Long.  Which gives further credence that Mike's former team were intentionally tanking games from 2011-2015 to justify the nonsense claim that St. Louisans don't care about football.

Philly's victory also makes the NFC East the only division in the current 8-division setup to have every team win at least 1 Super Bowl.  Dallas has 5, the New York Football Giants have 4, and Washington has 3.  The Eagles' first makes it 13 out of 52 (exactly 25% of all Super Bowls) going to NFC East teams, which leads all divisions.  Observe:

NFC East: 13 (Dallas 5, NY Giants 4, Washington 3, Philadelphia 1)
AFC North: 8 (Pittsburgh 6, Baltimore 2)
AFC East: 8 (New England 5, Miami 2, NY Jets 1)
NFC West: 7 (San Francisco 5, Seattle 1, Professional Liars 1 [that was won in St. Louis])
AFC West: 7 (Denver 3, Raiders 3, Kansas City 1)
NFC North: 5 (Green Bay 4, Chicago 1)
NFC South: 2 (Tampa Bay 1, New Orleans 1)
AFC South: 2 (Colts 2)
