Zach Ertz isn't quite sure how Doug Pederson wasn't named Coach of the Year.

Following their Super Bowl LII victory, the Philadelphia Eagles tight end suggested it was an injustice that his bench boss didn't win the award. What may be even more upsetting to Ertz, however, was how little support Pedersen received in voting.

"Doug Pederson should've won Coach of the Year," Ertz told Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated. "I don't know how that happened. He got one freaking vote. It's embarrassing."

If it wasn't for rookie head coach Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams' remarkable one-year turnaround, Pederson would have made a stronger showing. The Eagles went from a fourth-place finish in the NFC East last season to a 13-3 record and a No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
