Zack Baun wore Bill Bergey’s medallion during Super Bowl run - PFT
Eagles linebacker Zack Baun, who went from free agent to All-Pro in his first year in Philly, played in the postseason while honoring one of the franchise’s all-time greats. Baun told reporters on Thursday that he wore a medallion belonging to former Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey during the postseason. Bergey, who spent seven seasons in Philadelphia, died on Christmas Day at the age of 79. G.M. Howie Roseman, as Baun explained it, asked Bergey’s family for something that would be worn by a player in his honor. Roseman then came to a linebackers meeting, told the story about the medallion, and offered it to Baun. “Absolutely honored,” Baun said, via Tim McManus of ESPN.com. “To be representing his family, his legacy that way. It’s really cool.”
Ranking the 10 greatest moments from the Eagles dominating playoff run - BGN
5. Jalen Carter Calls Game Against Rams. The Rams came really, really close to pulling off a shocking comeback in the divisional round. It was way too close for comfort. After Barkley seemingly iced the game with a long touchdown run (we’ll get to that in a moment), Matthew Stafford led the Rams on a lightning-quick TD drive that made it 28-22 with 2:48 left. After an Eagles 3-and-out, Los Angeles got the ball back and was driving for the go-ahead score, with the ball at the PHI14 and 1:14 left on the clock. With the defense suddenly reeling and facing a 3rd-and-2, Carter made an unbelievable move and beat the center for an unobstructed path to Stafford, burying him for a nine-yard loss. Stafford’s 4th-and-11 pass sailed high and wide and the Eagles were on to the NFC Championship Game. Had Carter not delivered that sack, it might have been the Rams facing the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.

Philadelphia Eagles 40, Kansas City Chiefs 22. WHY THE EAGLES WON. A strong Jalen Hurts performance: It wasn’t a Super Bowl performance for the ages, but Jalen Hurts did just about everything he needed to in the win. He completed 17 of 22 pass attempts for 221 yards and two touchdown passes against one interception, adding 72 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Hurts knew when to pull the trigger and target his guys downfield, accounted for four big-time throws, knew when to dump the ball off and knew when to take off. He was aided by stellar protection on his way to an 86.7 PFF overall grade.
