Philadelphia Eagles versus Los Angeles: 5 Key matchups to watch
Let’s settle this. The Philadelphia Eagles have the better coach.
Both Pederson and Mcvay have led their team to a Super Bowl. Doug won in his and looked like a genius. McVay lost in his only appearance and looked befuddled the entire time. You can also make a very successful argument that the AP NFL Coach of the Year Award that Mcvay put in his trophy case after the 2017 season should actually be in the possession of Doug Pederson.
Did the latter not lead his team to the top seed in the NFC Playoffs after losing his star quarterback, one of his best running backs, his All-Pro left tackle, and his starting middle linebacker at various points of the season?
A common theory is the other 31 NFL coaches were confused by Mcvay early but have caught up with him now. We’ll see if that’s true soon. Doug Pederson is 2-0 in head-to-head matchups versus McVay. Can he make it three straight wins on Sunday? We won’t have to wait too much longer to find out.
