The Philadelphia Eagles have done it, against seemingly all odd the team has made their way to the postseason. Once expected to be a bottom-dweller in the NFL this season, the team has flipped the script and is ready to head to the postseason in Year 1 of their “rebuild.”

Jalen Hurts has continued to prove himself, as has the team’s Head Coach and several veterans who have seemingly found the fountain of youth. The Eagles may not yet be contenders, but they are certainly ahead of schedule, and one major reason for that is the work of General Manager Howie Roseman, who has also made sure that the Eagles are set beyond this season.
