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.

Nolan Smith came up with two sacks, the Eagles won the turnover battle with picks from Darius Slay, Zack Baun, and then Quinyon Mitchell for his NFL first, and they always made the timely stop on Jordan Love and Green Bay, buying enough time for Dallas Goedert to storm through on a crucial score and for Jake Elliott to hit on three field goals.
