If the Philadelphia Eagles were going to restore themselves as Super Bowl contenders, it was going to require new blood. Keegan wasn’t yet an Eagle when the overhaul began a year ago. The lineman was still relishing Michigan’s national championship parade when Philadelphia’s meltdown mercifully reached its end.

The Eagles enter the playoffs with perhaps their best chance to hoist a Lombardi Trophy — and that's saying a lot given the team's success under head coach Nick Sirianni. Why it matters: This Birds team is arguably better — and more balanced — than the one that narrowly lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl in 2023.
