INDIANAPOLIS -- Patriots fans likely do everything in their power to avoid re-watching Super Bowl LII. Eagles coach Doug Pederson on the other hand, probably doesn't seem to mind watching it again.
On Wednesday, speaking at the NFL combine, Pederson said he still watches the game to confirm it wasn't just a dream.
“I get home at night or whatever -- I’m sitting there, we’re watching TV, my wife and I, and we flip through,” Pederson said. “We flip to the NFL Network or HBO or something and you catch the game. And I’ve done that about four times now. Not that I’m searching for it, but it’s just on. So, I go back through the game and it’s just like, ‘Did we win?’ You know? It’s one of those things.
"It’s, for me, it was a great way to just kind of analyze the game from afar and just make sure I was doing everything possible to help our team win. We did win. We had a chance to get through that week after, and I gave the coaches a week off. It’s been 20-plus weeks since we’ve had a week off. So we took a week and just kind of got away from it, got back a couple weeks ago, and we’re ready to go. We’re energized. We’re jazzed up and we’re ready for this season.”
The Eagles have a lot of work to do this offseason with no bigger decision than what to do with Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, as Carson Wentz will be the QB next season.
