Most combined yards in NFL game among records to fall in Super Bowl

The football world was treated to one of the best Super Bowls of all-time Sunday, with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots combining for a record-breaking performance.

An offensive explosion saw the 41-33 final score mark the second-highest total in Super Bowl history, with a number of records falling.

Here are the four most impressive:

Most total yards in a game in NFL history

The two teams didn't just combine to break the Super Bowl record for most total yards in a game, but the 1,151 combined yards is the most ever in any game in NFL history. Both teams averaged more than 8.5 yards per pass and over five yards per rushing attempt.

Most passing yards by a quarterback in postseason history

Tom Brady's 466 yards passing in last year's dramatic win over the Atlanta Falcons set a new Super Bowl record and the legendary pivot did even better against the Eagles. Brady finished with a stunning 505 yards passing, the most ever by a quarterback in postseason history. He also became the first player in NFL history to top the 400-yard passing mark in the Super Bowl multiple times.

Not only did Nick Foles' and Brady's combined 878 yards passing set the Super Bowl record for most total passing yards, but they already had the record entering the fourth quarter. The pair combined for six touchdowns passing and both had a passer rating over 106.

Along with throwing for three touchdowns and claiming the MVP, Foles also became the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to catch a touchdown pass. The veteran backup's touchdown catch from Trey Burton in the final minute of the second quarter gave the Eagles a 22-12 halftime lead.
