With millions in prizes hot diggity dog keep on scratchin this is sports desk brought to you by xfinity, x1 from xfinity will change the way you experience tv. Good to see you again. Danny pommells from nbc sports philadelphia with you. Doug pedersen may only be in his second season, but his aggressive play calling even after carson wentz went down a big reason the eagles are one of the last two teams standing. Hes an aggressive coach but hes also a smart coach. He wants to keep the defense off balance and he does a good job of that. Every time a play comes in i understand what hes looking for, why hes calling the play. I think it is something that fires up the team, knowing we have a head coach thats aggressive play caller. So everyone just plays that, you know, plays aggressive. So the birds are healthy heading into the superbowl, other than carson wentz obviously. John clark has more on how the birds managed to carry out with their star qb. Reporter Doug Pedersen reminded everybody when carson wentz went down nobody gave the eagles a shot. Lets go back to that. Two months ago when nick foles took over, Doug Pedersen sat down with nbcs tony dungy. You can see the interview pregame on nbc before the superbowl, and listen to doug describe the message that he had for the birds when they lost their leader. My oldest son sent me a picture. It was of me, bret favre in green bay. It was several years ago. But on the wall behind us was a quote that says, one man can make a difference, but a team can make a miracle. I was like, thats it. Thats it. You know, the next day i brought that in and i put it up in front of the team. I says, guys, one man can make a difference, but a team can make this thing very, very special and can make a miracle. Reporter and dougs message has worked. Since carson went down, the eagles in games where the starters played the entire way, theyre 40 and nick foles has had one of the more unbelievable postseason performances by a quarterback. In minnesota covering the superbowl, john clark, nbc sports philadelphia. Sixers and heat in south philly today. Expected the play in backtoback games for the first time. Sixers were up 28 in the fourth quarter, but, man, the lead went down to five when finds simmons inside. It was the 100th win for greg brown. Well be right back. Closed captioning on nbc 10 is brought to you by your local tristate buick dealers. Experience the seven expectation shattering models. Yeah, the city is lit. You are looking live at boathouse row lit up in green tonight for the birds. A beautiful shot. You know what . If the birds win could we see fireworks over boathouse row . I have a feeling they will do all of that, a great parade down broad street. All of the green we will see. Now just two days away. Imagine how the players are feeling right about now. I know. They got to get a good nights sleep for the next couple of nights. They do. They have to relax and be loose and focus which i know they will. Minneapolis is filling up with birds fans. Theyre all around us. You see the green, you hear the eagles chant. The city is filling up with those fans and theyre ready for a Victory Party come sunday night. So many people came in town today for an extended threeday weekend. Theyre hoping for a superbowl victory weekend, of course. That will do it for us tonight in minneapolis, but our superbowl coverage is kicking into over drive for the weekend. We will be back here live tomorrow at 5 00 a. M. , and on superbowl sunday we are bringing you eagles coverage all day long. Have a good night. Good night.
