Sports Illustrated Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Champions Commemorative Issue (Nick Foles Trophy Cover): Finally Flying

As a city, Philadelphia has always championed the underdog. (Rocky, anyone?) Its 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. Its 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 clubs history is captured in 96 colorful pages featuring SIs trademark prose and photographs. Relive the teams dominant regular season and exciting playoff run. Go deep with features on head coach Doug Pederson and locker room leader Malcolm Jenkins. Get a blast from the past with a march through the Eagles most memorable moments and the franchises all-time team. The tale of the thrilling final game and the all-world performance of Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles is told through SIs on-the-scene, all-access reporting. The Iggles are finally flying. Fly, Eagles, fly. Please note that this product is an authorized edition published by Meredith Corporation and sold by Amazon.
