New England Patriots running back James White helped cut into his team’s 9-point Super Bowl LII deficit in the second quarter when he broke loose for a 26-yard touchdown run against the Philadelphia Eagles. That made the score 15-12 with 2:04 left in the first half at U.S. Bank Stadium, as kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed the extra point.

The Patriots took over possession of the football on their 10-yard line after defensive back Duron Harmon picked off Eagles’ quarterback Nick Foles.
