Why the Eagles mentality going into Tampa is so impressive, putting Jason Kelce's career into perspective, a Tom Brady stat you will not believe and an absurd Eagles playoff trivia question.
2. There’ve been 55 NFL teams with 29 or fewer sacks and 16 or fewer takeaways in a season . The Eagles are only the second of those 55 teams to reach the playoffs. To finish the season with the No. 10 defense in the NFL despite no real playmakers other than Darius Slay, Javon Hargrave the first half of the season and Josh Sweat the second half just tells you how good this defense will be when some reinforcements arrive in the draft.
6. All of a sudden you look up and realize you’re writing Jason Kelce’s name alongside Steve Van Buren, Chuck Bednarik, Reggie White and Brian Dawkins, and it hits you that this guitar-playing, fun-loving, t-shirt-wearing, beer-swigging dude from Cleveland is one day going to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One of the greatest stories ever.
8. Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT, but the crazy thing about Brady is that he doesn’t have a rocket-launcher arm and he’s so smart and so quick to get rid of the ball and so decisive and sees the field so well that he really doesn’t need one. Brady has played 45 postseason games in his career and won 34 of them -- including seven Super Bowls -- but get this: In those 45 games, he’s only thrown FOUR touchdowns of at least 40 yards.
