The table is finally set for Super Bowl LII. In less than two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots will square off at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. With their 38-7 slaughter of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game, the Eagles will be going to their third Super Bowl in franchise history and first in 13 years for a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX, a 24-21 victory for the Pats.

Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson, who was just 14 years old at the time of that particular Super Bowl, knows what it means for the city of Philadelphia for the current Eagles to get revenge.

Via Eagles beat reporter Tim McManus of ESPN:

“For what they did to us in [the] 2004 [season], to get payback, there would be nothing sweeter than that,” Johnson said. “I remember watching that game when I was 14 years old. I was hoping the Eagles would win. Just coming up short, you could feel the pain, and you could also feel the passion of what this city wants. And we're here, so it's right at our fingertips.”

Johnson knows it won't be easy and that the Eagles will once again be the underdogs, but he's hungry for the challenge. In order to be the champs, you've got to beat the champs.

“I know,” Johnson said. “Hey, Tom Brady. Pretty boy Tom Brady. He's the best quarterback of all time, so, nothing I'd like to do more than dethrone that guy.”

As Brady and the Patriots once again showed with their terrific come-from-behind win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game, beating them will be much easier said than done. However, Johnson and the Eagles have been proving people wrong ever since quarterback Carson Wentz went down, and they appear confident of doing it again in a few weeks' time.
