A Team Makes a Miracle: Doug Pederson and the Philadelphia Eagles' Journey to the Super Bowl

by Turron Davenport

Overview

Doug Pederson led the unlikeliest NFL team to their first Super Bowl ever.
It takes a special team to fight through all of the adversity the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles faced in their Super Bowl winning season. Most teams couldn't withstand the loss of key players such as quarterback Carson Wentz, running back Darren Sproles, middle linebacker Jordan Hicks, and left tackle Jason Peters, but this Eagles team is unique. They managed to rally together when no one thought they would win. Led by head coach Doug Pederson, the Eagles embraced 'the underdog' mantra and used it as a rallying cry during their run to Philadelphia's first Super Bowl win ever.
A Team Makes a Miracle takes you into the locker room for an up close and personal look at some of the best stories that fueled the Eagles as they did the unthinkable.
