VI watches as Eagles stun Patriots in record breaking Super Bowl LII
It was a night when records tumbled and, according to the BBC, the expected norms of an NFL game went out the window, as the Eagles - led majestically by quarterback Nick E. Foles - produced a brilliant offensive display to deny the Patriots a record-equalling sixth Super Bowl crown.
Zach A. Ertz's touchdown with less than three minutes remaining put the Eagles into a five-point lead, but it took Brandon L. Graham's sack on Thomas Edward Patrick ‘Tom’ Brady just moments later to seemingly put the game beyond the reigning champions.
VI did not miss the big moments
In a game featuring just one punt and one sack - Graham's key hit on Brady - the action was breathless and, for the most part, unprecedented in NFL history.
It was also an action not missed by Virgin Islands Super Bowl fans, and even those who went to watch the game at the various sports bars across the Territory out of curiosity and wanting to be part of the hype.
The top place to watch the game in the Virgin Islands was without a doubt Captain Mulligan’s in Nanny Cay, which provided a big outdoor screen for the masses to view the action. There were also several televisions at the bar and dining area to ensure fans didn’t miss a moment of the big game.
As expected, a large crowd descended upon Captain Mulligan’s for the game, as well as to get some good drinks and a bite of the many tasty items on the menu, with some of the popular orders being chicken wings and pizza.
A large Flow branded tent was also erected and which came in handy every time there was a drizzle.
Some fans; however, refused to be moved as they simply covered their heads with foldup chairs and kept their eyes glued to the action.
Other sports bars that showed the game
Some fans preferred to view Super Bowl LII in a smaller setting and indoors, such as Le Petite Sports Lounge in Baughers Bay and Aromas Cigar and Martini Bar on Tortola Pier Park.
A few chose to catch the game beachside at the Paradise Club, Bar and Grill where a giant screen was set up.
Over in Virgin Gorda, one of the popular places to view the game was Leverick Bay Resort, where a large crowd gathered. Others made their way to Top of the Baths among other places to catch the game.
And while there was looting and civil disturbance in the streets of Philadelphia following their team’s historic win, it was all about party time at the various sports bars across the Virgin Islands, for both Eagles and Patriots fans.
