Doug Pederson Firing Allows Eagles to Reshape Team Around Carson Wentz

On Feb. 4, 2018, Doug Pederson stood atop the stage at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and accepted the Lombardi Trophy after leading the to a victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

Eagles quarterback didn't play in that game, as he tore his ACL in a Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams earlier that season. But Wentz was playing at an MVP level before that injury, and he played a huge part in Philadelphia winning its first Super Bowl.

Fast-forward three years, and everything has changed.

Wentz struggled through a miserable season before he got benched for rookie Jalen Hurts.
