The Eagles' well-engineered victory in Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium taught an unusual lesson about building a championship team.
Usually in early February, the NFL lesson is that you need a star quarterback and a star coach, and maybe the painstaking collection of homegrown talent, to win a Super Bowl.
What the Eagles accomplished will place even more pressure on the rest of the league's coaches and general managers, because the Eagles were not deterred by key injuries or a coaching change. They filled their roster with key players anyone else could have acquired. And they hired as a head coach a guy who 10 years ago was running a high-school program.
