Sunday's game included stellar performances by Baun, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and others, while also making a star out of Baun and his wife Ali's young son, who began going viral in a post shared by a well known sideline reporter.

When NFL teams do great things, as the Philadelphia Eagles have this season, they'll typically get added help from unexpected places. Here we'll list 10 surprise players who helped the Eagles get to the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun says he wants to re-sign with the Eagles in free agency, but it takes two to tango

After an offseason overhaul and the arrival of Vic Fangio, the Philadelphia Eagles defense has transformed into the NFL’s most dominant and opportunistic unit, paving the way for a return to the Super Bowl.

Zack Baun was an afterthought of a free agent signing. Now, he's a first-team All-Pro after a breakout season for Vic Fangio and the Eagles.

Former Wisconsin and current Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun flashed his brilliance in his fourth career NFL playoff game on Sunday. Baun, who earned a spot on the coveted 2024 AP All-Pro first team, continued his outstanding 2025 postseason run against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles forced four turnovers, including three “Peanut Punch” fumbles in their 55-23 win in the NFC title game.

The Philadelphia Eagles have done pretty much everything right this year. Philadelphia knew that it needed to make some changes after how the 2023 season ended

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles linebacker Zack Baun took off his Oxygen mask and put his helmet back on when he saw running back Saquon Barkley rush for a 60-yard touchdown on their first offensive play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

One of the biggest reasons for their resurgence on that side of the ball under new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has been the emergence of linebacker Zack Baun. Baun wasn't even a full time off-ball linebacker before this season, but he has blossomed to one of the best in the league at his position.

In the Eagles’ NFC Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers on January 12, Baun logged eight tackles, one interception, and one pass deflection. Baun had six tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended in the divisional-round win over the Rams.

The Eagles added a pair of NFC South linebackers in Devin White and Zack Baun as free agents, but each came to Philadelphia with plenty to prove. White had a rough final two seasons in Tampa Bay after a hot start to his career, while Baun struggled to hold down a starting role in four seasons with the Saints.
