AS HE WEAVED through traffic on his way to the stadium on the day of the NFC title game, Jonathan Gannon, wearing sunglasses and a scowl, rolled down the window of his black SUV, looked into the camera that was filming him a car-length away and said: "We're going to f---ing gut these guys!"
The video went viral, and the mood was set.
Gannon, the Eagles' defensive coordinator at the time, was on his way to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia where his team would later throttle the San Francisco 49ers, 31-7. Gannon's defense knocked quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson out of the game -- and stamped its ticket to Super Bowl LVII.
