The Philadelphia Eagles survived the loss of franchise quarterback Carson Wentz, and eventually thrived, by being innovative with their offensive concepts and adapting to their players’ strengths. This flexibility and forward thinking allowed them advance past the Atlanta Falcons, carve up the Minnesota Vikings, and out-sprint the New England Patriots in a wild track meet on their way to a Super Bowl Championship.
Credit can be given to head coach Doug Pederson, first and foremost, for being receptive to his coaching staff and their suggestions. Too often teams fail to evolve in season, relying heavily on their offseason installs and becoming predictable in their scripting.
