HOUSTON — It’s only natural for Philadelphia sports fans to compare their teams and successful runs across different sports. The 2017 Philadelphia Eagles were the most recent Philly team to capture a world championship and there are a ton of similarities between those underdogs and the 2022 Philadelphia Phillies.
The obvious being the parallel storyline of overcoming injuries to multiple star players, but after Friday’s classic five-run comeback against the Houston Astros in Game 1, you can add another.
Doug Pederson’s aggressive playcalling against an uninspired Bill Belichick was a huge reason why the Eagles won their first Super Bowl.
