I'm unsure, sometimes the Coaches are apart of "America's Game" but it seems it's mostly been the players in the last couple of episodes.   I would be shocked if Nick isn't in this one but again Doug wasn't in the last one.   Here is the full history, they've even updated the Eagles episode date but it obviously hasn't been shot yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Game:_The_Super_Bowl_Champions

If they do a coaches episode, Nick won't be in it. I just figured that that's how they did it (players and coaches in separate episodes). But I've honestly only watched 2 episodes (I think), total. Both Eagles. I may have watched snippets of other episodes, but before LII, I had no interest in those stories from those other teams. So I've never really paid close attention to how they do it. 

I do fully expect to hear their special America's Game renditions of Fly Eagles Fly that they composed in 2018, in the new episode(s) though.

Update:

The 2020 Bucs had No Risk It, No Biscuit: Bruce Arians and the 2020 Bucs

I can only find it on YouTube in segments now

I still don't see anything coach focused from the 2021-23 seasons.

A still photo from 'Turning Point' that I saw a little while ago and laughed out loud at the Chief's stats on the scoreboard. Almost halftime and they're averaging 0.9 yards per play. Of course, the play that they're about to run is the Baun INT.

I’m guessing that didn’t help the average lol. 

The Defense seems to play better every time I watch the game. 🦅

There's a stretch of 7 straight defensive plays where the only positive yardage is a Pacheco 3 yard run.

1. Mahomes sacked for a loss of 4.

2. Mahomes sacked for a loss of 2.

3. Cooper DeJean pick 6.

4. Pacheco run for loss of 2.

5. Pachecho run for a gain of 3.

6. Mahomes sacked for a loss of 7.

7. Baun INT.

 

That's just sick.

Amazing! I never expected that Defensive performance for the SB. It was AWESOME.

I did, but it was in 1992 after beating the Saints. Reggie was going to be MVP. If not Reggie, then Randall.

@Jenkins27the season for Sirianni kinda went how it did for Ryan Day

Facts! Both will go back to back too 👀

Watching again, the highlights.

Hurts TD throws to AJ and Smitty were perfect. 

I'm an obtuse person. 

I didn't realize how good our Iggles were, until they beat the Rams in that playoff game. I wish I would've enjoyed the regular season more.

Just an amazing team and season. Very happy to be alive to witness it.

Don't care about Dotson, it was amazing he had a couple catches at all.

I was hoping Barkley would break open a big run for a TD.

That was the only thing missing from the game.

Yes. But in a weird way, for how the season went it was nice to show that the team wasn't just about Barkley. There were narratives - even among some Eagles fans - that the team sucked without Barkley and it was a one man team. That's what the Chiefs thought and they made their entire game plan to stop Barkley and just kind of let Mahomes toss the ball around. They completely underestimated the defense, and Hurts was clutch and focused. They were stunned and had no answer. So it showed the team is dominant everywhere not just Barkley.

Took my mother to a doctors appointment today, and like always happens in doctors offices, we were sitting and waiting. Their 0.9 yards of offense as pictured in that screenshot kept rolling through my mind. 

They were averaging 2 feet and just over 8 inches of offense per play through the 1st half. That's it. lol That still amazes me, and thrills me beyond description that it was the Eagles holding them to that... in the SUPER BOWL!

We've seen dominant Eagles Defenses hold good down and kick the ever loving ish out of them, The House of Pain Game and the Body Bag game come to mind. But this was the Super Bowl! There's a word for that....

 

@VaBeach_Eagle The 2008 Steelers won the SB but before that the Eagles tried to kill Ben Roethlisberger. I think they had 8 sacks but I don't think they tracked hits and pressures back then... there were a lot.

It used to really bug me that McNabb wet the bed vs an AZ team he killed earlier and robbed us of a chance to see them do that again. The 40-8ers game was another example of a SB champ that the Eagles just woodshedded.

 

To see it happen in the actual SB is the top moment in a 50+ year 4 for 4 lifetime of following these teams.

I no longer hold any bad feelings for those Eagles teams that failed in the past...  (I reserve the right to debate the merits of those players of course)

 

For the Eagles and us as fans, all the suffering was a part of getting us to here. It sure feels good to be on the top with 3 SBs in 8 years and 2 wins with that complete destruction last month.

The Body Bag game and House of Pain game were just before my time as a fan, so I'm glad I got to see this one.

If you're interested in watching  a 34 year old game (the Body Bag Game won't embed but it's on YouTube):

 

Spoiler

I just watched a few minutes of it. Blast from the past seeing some of those players. 

Eagles win 13-6, so it wasn't an exciting, high scoring game. But the Eagles D took it to them. But as great as that game was back then, the Super Bowl D was even more impressive in how they completely destroyed Mahomes and the Chiefs.
