Before Vic Fangio heads into the Miami Dolphins’ facility and charts out a game plan for their defense, he was called upon to help Philadelphia Eagles coaches devise a way to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
Fangio signed a two-week contract with the Eagles to help with their planning, NFL Network reported Sunday. Fangio reportedly helped the offensive coaches, including offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, as he prepares to face off against the Chiefs’ defense led by Steve Spagnuolo.
