PHILADELPHIA — It was Lane Johnson, wearing a plastic dog mask purchased on Amazon this week in the event of an Eagles underdog win, who turned the most heads walking back through the home tunnel Saturday evening. But the person on the Eagles who showed the most emotion walking off the field, after the 15-10 divisional round win against the Falcons? That was head coach Doug Pederson.
He was leaping, almost skipping, both fists raised high in the air, with a huge grin on his face and the laminated, color-coded offensive call sheet under his arm. “Everything kind of rushes through your mind,” Pederson would say a few minutes later at his postgame press conference.
