Thursday night’s meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers will feature two of the NFL’s top teams – and two coaches with a history together.
Carolina head coach Ron Rivera and Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson both stem from the coaching tree of former Eagles and current Chiefs coach Andy Reid. Reid was the leading man in Philadelphia from 1999 to 2012, and both Rivera and Pederson spent time there during that period.
“All the guys that have been head coaches, we can honestly all say there’s something that we’re doing that we took from (Reid),” Rivera said.
