Inside the Battle: Which Unexpected Matchup Could Make or Break the Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Showdown?
The Eagles’ not-so-secret defensive weapon is linebacker Zach Baun, who they brought in during free agency on a one-year flier. He’s been excellent for Vic Fangio’s defense as a do-it-all player who especially excels in pass coverage.
Baun has been targeted 74 times on 554 pass coverage snaps this season (second and first in NFL among linebackers, respectively) and allowed a burn rate of only 39.2% and 8.17 burn yards per target. Those numbers rank second and eighth, respectively, among linebackers with at least 300 pass coverage snaps this year (including the playoffs).
