WASHINGTON — Super Bowl LII is going back to the future.

The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots are meeting in the Super Bowl in Minnesota … 13 years after squaring off in the Big Game in Jacksonville. How’s that for symmetry?

Eagles fans better pack those dog masks with their parkas because Philly has already been installed as a 5.5-point underdog, the biggest margin for a Super Bowl since 2009. Part of that is the one-sided Tom Brady vs. Nick Foles QB comparison, but the other component has to be the Patriots enjoying the easiest path to the Super Bowl in modern NFL history.

Can New England complete the greatest run in NFL history by winning a third Super Bowl in four years for the second time? Or, will Philadelphia finally give their long-suffering (and stunningly inept) fans their first Super Bowl victory?

We have two weeks to kick that around. For now, let’s recap Championship Sunday.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Colombia’s plan was nearly perfectly executed. The only thing missing was a goal. Didn’t matter — it goes into the knockout stage as a group winner. Colombia finished the World Cup ’s opening round as the Group K winner after playing Portugal to a scoreless draw Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium in front of an electric crowd of supporters, the majority of whom were clad in Colombia’s bright yellow jerseys. “We were the better team and deserved to win,” Colombia coach Néstor Lorenzo said. “I think we created so many chances. We just lacked finishing. The players were outstanding against a top contender … not only did we play them on equal terms, we dictated the terms. I think playing against a rival like that, showing this kind of football to all these people, in this heat, was incredible.”
