Leap Year - by Zach Berman (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2024-2025 NFL season with high hopes amid uncertainty following a historic collapse the previous year. With a retooled coaching staff and new injection of talent, the Birds built their rebirth brick by brick, week after week, and set the stage for a Super Bowl revenge game for the ages.

In Leap Year, Zach Berman expertly chronicles the team's remarkable championship season as well as the elements that made it all possible--the highlight reel plays of new addition Saquon Barkley, the quiet leadership of Jalen Hurts, Vic Fangio's dominant defense, and more.

Featuring in-depth reporting and an unforgettable cast of characters both on the field and in the front office, this is the story of how the Eagles found their footing, vanquished the reigning back-to-back champion Kansas City Chiefs, and returned the Lombardi Trophy to Philadelphia.
