About this ebook

Following the turbulent 2017 season, the Philadelphia Eagles did the impossible: for the first time in the franchise's history, Philly won a Super Bowl.

Philadelphia Inquirer Eagles beat reporter Zach Berman takes fans on a journey through the action-packed season—from the preseason and midseason player pickups that shaped a championship team to the gut-wrenching injury of star quarterback Carson Wentz through to the bold play calling and nail-biting moments in Super Bowl LII, in which the Eagles bested the favored-to-win New England Patriots.

A book unique in its scope and insight thanks to Berman's on-the-ground reporting, Underdogs details the unlikely story that captured national attention; explains how the team resonated among a desperate fan base that waited fifty-seven years for a championship; and even delves into the players' social activism during a particularly political NFL season. With a foreword by beloved Philadelphia radio announcer Merrill Reese and an eight-page full-color photo insert, it's the perfect keepsake item for anyone who bleeds green.
