After last year's season-ending injury to starting quarterback Carson Wentz, most NFL experts thought little of the Eagles' chances in the playoffs, much less the Super Bowl.
The one true believer was Kyle Brandt, the energetic host of NFL Network's buzzy morning show Good Morning Football. Brandt's impassioned three-minute rant inspired by lazy sports media pundits who were quick to write-off the Eagles quickly went viral ahead of the team's NFC divisional playoff matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
"I was just so frustrated and enraged with the laziness of all the observations and all the storylines about the Eagles from national media outlets … and I just kind-of erupted," Brandt said.
