Sports Illustrated Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champions Commemorative Issue

As a city, Philadelphia has always championed the underdog. (Rocky, anyone?) It's hard to say what was the most unlikely thing about the Eagles' Super Bowl LII victory over the heavily favored New England Patriots. Philadelphia was the No. 1 seed in its conference yet not favored in any of its playoff games. The franchise was led by a head coach who was a backup NFL quarterback, an offensive coordinator who was a backup NFL quarterback and a quarterback who was a backup NFL quarterback. And the key play of the game was spearheaded by a passer who had never thrown an NFL pass and a receiver who had never been thrown a ball in the pros, on fourth-and-goal no less. It's no wonder that the Eagles players embraced their underdog status by wearing dog masks in the postseason. Sports Illustrated celebrates the Eagles' first championship since 1960 with a special issue highlighting the super season. The past and present of the club's history is captured in 96 colorful pages featuring SI's trademark prose and photographs. Relive the team's dominant regular season and exciting playoff run.
