The New England Patriots faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night for Super Bowl LII in what was reported as one of the coldest games in history.
The Recording Academy announced several winners ahead of the 60th Grammy Awards show, hosted by James Corden, on Sunday. Ed Sheeran, who was snubbed out of major categories, picked up the award for pop vocal album, while Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars, who were up for album of the year, won three Grammy Awards each -- and they each performed too. Country star Chris Stapleton, who also performed, picked up two Grammys.

Who has the edge when Tom Brady's Patriots face Nick Foles and the upstart Eagles? We break down the matchup by the numbers.
Who comes out on top?
The Pats are No. 1 overall
thanks to their offense -- first in points (27.94) and yards (394.2) per
game. The Eagles, meanwhile, allowed the fewest rushing ypg (79.2) and
had the third-best opponent QBR (44.6). But according to ESPN's
efficiency metric,* the biggest mismatch is the Eagles' O vs. the Pats' D
-- especially if QB Nick Foles can repeat his stellar NFC championship performance.
Tom Brady vs. Nick Foles
This is 40 -- for Tom Brady
anyway. Brady led the NFL in attempts (581) and passing yards (4,577),
completing more than 66 percent of his passes. Eagles fans, meanwhile,
will be hoping for a repeat performance of Foles' NFC Championship game,
where he threw for two TDs of 40+ yards. The Patriots are vulnerable on
deep throws: They gave up the second-most yards per play and
fourth-most per game. But aside from that superb championship game, so
is Foles -- an abysmal 0.7 QBR on his regular season passes of more than
20 yards.
Brady and Foles combined for 31 yards rushing this regular season. That
means that they'll have to attack pressure from the pocket, where Brady
is known for his ability to deftly slide away from the rush to create
his own throwing lanes. But against Brady, teams create that rush,
mostly, with their front four; Brady gets blitzed on just 23.6 percent
of his drop-backs (38th out of 44 quarterbacks who attempted at least
100 passes). That's likely because of a stellar QBR when pressure that
ranks only behind Minnesota's Case Keenum and Brady's former backup,
Jimmy Garoppolo, who appeared in just six games. What about Foles? His
QBR is 32nd -- and yards per play 42nd -- when the heat is on. The
Patriots, tied for seventh in the NFL with 42 sacks, figure to do their
part to squeeze Foles, who has yet to throw an INT this postseason.
Running backs
The Patriots, who famously use a
committee in the backfield, had three players with at least five rushing
touchdowns. But Dion Lewis began getting more carries in October and
finished as the team leader in rushing TDs (six) and yards (896) with an
impressive 5.0 yards per carry. Brady's running backs had a league-best
nine TD catches this year. Watch out for them against the Eagles:
Philly's D allowed opposing RBs to score five TDs on receptions, tied
for second most in the NFL. Foles, meanwhile, will lean on RBs Jay Ajayi and LeGarrette Blount
against a D that allowed 4.71 yards per rush, second most in the NFL.
Ajayi, who ran for more than 1,000 yards with the Dolphins last year,
was traded to Philly in October and had an impressive 5.8 yards per
carry while sharing the workload with Blount.
Key matchup: RB Dion Lewis vs. S Malcolm Jenkins
With WR Brandin Cooks and TE Rob Gronkowski
(currently out of practice after his concussion in Sunday's game)
drawing attention, Lewis is dangerous when he gets into space-he had
five TDs (three rushing, two receiving) in the last three games of the
regular season. The Pro Bowler Jenkins (76 tackles and 2 INTs) is the
Eagles' best chance to slow Lewis down ... or try to.
Penalties
We've all seen the Internet memes that
suggest Belichick and Brady have the refs in their pockets. But alas --
data! Believe it or not, Pats haters, two NFL teams are flagged less
than New England (but, yes, the Pats are still the third-least penalized
team). Philly, meanwhile, is the NFL's 14th-most penalized squad.
Turnovers
Brady's INT total was his highest since
2014 ... and he still didn't scratch double digits. His eight picks were
11th lowest among qualified QBs. But one note of worry for the Eagles:
In Foles' seven regular-season games (just three of them starts), he
recorded two interceptions and two lost fumbles.
Special teams
The Patriots have long had one of the
best special teams units in the NFL, and that includes the 12-year
veteran Stephen Gostkowski, who did not miss a field goal under 40 yards
this regular season (and has done so just three times total in the last
five campaigns). By contrast, the Eagles rely on rookie Jake Elliott, a
fifth-round pick in 2017, who took over in September after a
season-ending injury to Caleb Sturgis. Elliott missed five field goals
in his 15 games.
FPI chances of winning
Tom Brady vs. Nick Foles.
Advantage: Patriots. You didn't need ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI)
for that one, even after Foles' killer performance against the Vikings.
Philly's No. 4 scoring defense is stout but, in his three starts for
injured MVP candidate Carson Wentz, Foles had the league's worst QBR
(7.6) when pressured. How's Brady under pressure? Google Super Bowl LI.
