It's March 23rd. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. Former Eagle Safety, Rodney McLeod recently shared vivid memories of the team's magical 2017 Super Bowl run. As underdogs, they shocked everyone by winning their first Lombardi trophy in franchise history, beating the Falcons in the divisional round, crushing. The Vikings in the conference championship and topping Tom Brady's Patriots in the big game, that playoff journey started with a tense, freezing win over Atlanta, sealed by a crucial pass break-up on the one-yard line. Things heated up at home against Minnesota, where an early pick-six by Patrick Robinson turned the tide into a blow-out. McLeod credited the team's relentless preparation, like weekly dinners, to stay focused amid the hype. Fans and players alike still buzz about the hunger that drove them, embodied by the offensive lines mantra that hungry dogs run faster.
