<div>Sal Paolantonio of ESPN takes readers inside the improbable 2017 championship season of the Philadelphia Eagles&mdash;from training camp to the first Super Bowl title in franchise history. This is the inside story you will get nowhere else&mdash;from the team&rsquo;s storybook start to the nail-biting victory over the New England Patriots in Minneapolis, featuring the &ldquo;Philly Special,&rdquo; perhaps the most memorable play in Super Bowl history.<br /><br />Through exclusive interviews, readers will learn how the Eagles overcame Carson Wentz&rsquo;s season-ending injury, how the team defied the odds and the critics and how they beat the greatest dynasty in modern pro football. With exclusive inside access, Paolantonio reveals a rare look into the dynamic between head coach Doug Pederson, back-up quarterback and eventual Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles, and the many individuals who stepped up and answered the call at the right times.<br /><br />Paolantonio captures the mood of the team week by week, every step of the way, profiling numerous key players, coaches, and much, much more.</div>
