While each team understandably has a new cast of characters for the rematch, the two constants are Brady at quarterback for New England and Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

The 2018 Super Bowl matchup was set on Sunday with the New England Patriots claiming the AFC Championship and the Philadelphia Eagles winning big to win the NFC.

Sunday's win drew an average overnight household rating of 27.3.

"The Patriots kicked off the season as the consensus Super Bowl favorites with odds around 5-2 and, after a few early hiccups, remained the team to beat at Las Vegas sportsbooks for the majority of the season".

A team of doctors and trainers watch games along with fans. Thank GOD we two weeks till the Super Bowl.

And, with the game - and the season - possibly on the line, the Patriots star came up big again. Its 27-24 win at Pittsburgh on December 17 drew a 15.2 rating. "You've got to take advantage of that and find a way to win the game".

New England had no trouble handling their Divisional round opponent at home, the Tennessee Titans. The last time the Eagles made it to the big game, it was also against Tom Brady. In the Super Bowl, the Patriots will be favored as expected, as the Eagles will continue to try and thrive in the underdog role with Nick Foles at quarterback.

"With the Jets and Giants we get a lot of hate".

After opening the game with a nine-play, 75-yard drive that was nearly flawless to take a 7-0 lead, Case Keenum became the old Case Keenum, and the Vikings for the most part disappeared.

"I've had a lot worse injuries than this", said Brady of his "pretty good cut" suffered during a handoff at practice last Wednesday. "They're like math homework and science homework, the flu and pneumonia", April Brucker said.

"I would love to be able to play here for as long as they would let me", Bortles said.

"Being on the sideline and just seeing the defensive players make plays, seeing the offense make plays, seeing the special teams putting the offense or defense in a certain position that they can be successful in, you've just got to take in those moments". "When your number comes up, stepping out there and doing what's right for the team, making the plays that the team needs you to make". One of his highlights was the 41-yard flea-flicker pass to Torrey Smith for a touchdown on the first drive of the second half. I've said it before, it's a privilege to coach him and numerous guys that are like him that we have playing here. "Wednesday, it happened and Wednesday night I definitely wasn't sure, but it was just a insane injury in practice".

Brady said he hopes to have the stitches removed from his hand this week.
