Referee Gene Steratore looks at the coin on the field. New England won the coin toss. The Patriots have never won a Super Bowl when winning the toss. This is just the third time the Patriots have won a coin toss in 10 Super Bowl appearances (also won toss in Super Bowl XXXI and XLVI). [Prior to SB LII] The team that has won the coin toss is 24-27 all-time in the Super Bowl. Since 2008, when the NFL added the option to defer the choice to receive the kickoff until the second half, eight of nine teams to win the Super Bowl coin toss have deferred their choice to the second half. The only team not to defer was the 2009 Saints, who opened the second half with a successful, surprise onside kick.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz holds up the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Wentz started the first 13 games (11-2) and was injured in week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. See Wentz's post game tweet. Eagles coach Doug Pederson quote on Caron from the winner's news conference: "I had a chance to talk to Carson [Wentz] actually on the field, on the podium last night after the game. I told him to take this in, enjoy this moment. He's a great quarterback and he's a big reason – I told him you're a big, big part of why this team won this championship, won this game. I told him that hopefully we'll be back in this game with him leading the way. Just after that it was about spending time with our families."

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long (right) and LeGarrette Blount (not pictured) become the first players since Deion Sanders to play in and win back-to-back Super Bowls with different teams. Sanders won Super Bowl XXIX with the 49ers and Super Bowl XXX with the Cowboys. In addition, Blount and Long become the first players to win a Super Bowl with one team and then defeat that same team (New England) in the Super Bowl the following season. The Eagles are the fourth team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl after having a losing record in the previous season (they went 7-9 in 2016) and one of three teams to win after consecutive losing seasons (they also went 7-9 in 2015), per NFL Research.
