In the Eagles’ NFC Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers on January 12, Baun logged eight tackles, one interception, and one pass deflection. Baun had six tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended in the divisional-round win over the Rams.

Pro, Baun made a deep impact by picking off Jordan Love and stopping the Packers as the defense carried the load for the Eagles.

Zack Baun was an afterthought of a free agent signing. Now, he's a first-team All-Pro after a breakout season for Vic Fangio and the Eagles.

Eagles linebacker Zack Baun, a Wisconsin native, may have just dashed the hopes of the Packers, but his home in Packers country has a cool backstory.

Former Wisconsin and current Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun starred in his third career NFL playoff game on Sunday. Baun, who recently earned a spot on the 2024 AP All-Pro first team, continued his stellar play in the Eagles’ 22-10 Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers at Lincoln Financial Field.

Two Wisconsin natives are among the finalists for NFL defensive player of the year. Also, each NFL team remaining has a UW alumnus on the roster.

Philadelphia All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun says he wants to re-sign with the Eagles in free agency, but it takes two to tango

The Eagles added a pair of NFC South linebackers in Devin White and Zack Baun as free agents, but each came to Philadelphia with plenty to prove. White had a rough final two seasons in Tampa Bay after a hot start to his career, while Baun struggled to hold down a starting role in four seasons with the Saints.

They simply cannot allow Baun to walk in free agency this year. Losing Dean for the early stages of the 2025 season is difficult. The organization will most likely have to find a replacement linebacker in the meantime.

PHILADELPHIA — Linebacker Zack Baun, edge rusher Nolan Smith, rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and 12-year veteran Darius Slay proved in the Eagles’ 22-10 NFC wild-card round playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday that the team’s Super Bowl dreams live and die by the defense.

Nolan Smith came up with two sacks, the Eagles won the turnover battle with picks from Darius Slay, Zack Baun, and then Quinyon Mitchell for his NFL first, and they always made the timely stop on Jordan Love and Green Bay, buying enough time for Dallas Goedert to storm through on a crucial score and for Jake Elliott to hit on three field goals.
