Head Coach Nick Sirianni wouldn't divulge any details, but he said at his virtual press conference on Tuesday that there will be some slight tweaks and changes to how he will prepare the team for Super Bowl LIX compared to the prep for the Super Bowl two years ago.
But Sirianni acknowledged that it's not a typical bye week, what with two weeks to prepare for a single opponent, followed by the extensive media engagements in New Orleans, and preparing for a different game schedule with alterations such as the longer halftime break.
"I think at the end of the day, it does come back to what we've talked about all year and just controlling what you can control on being in the moment of where you are," Sirianni said.

Other highlights from Coach Sirianni's press conference:
• Coach Sirianni didn't have any detailed injury updates on Landon Dickerson, Brandon Graham, or Cam Jurgens.
On Graham, who suffered a triceps injury in late November, Sirianni said: "We'll see how that goes and how that plays out."
With regard to Dickerson, who started for Jurgens at center but left with a knee injury, and Jurgens, who played the second half despite a back injury, Sirianni remarked: "I can't tell you how much I respect what they go through and what they put their bodies through to play this game that we love."
• The Eagles hope to emulate the success they've had in several facets since the bye week, but one of them is in turnover ratio. After the Week 4 bye, the Eagles were +17 in the remainder of the regular season to go from -6 all the way to +11, good for sixth best in the NFL. In the playoffs, the Eagles have raised the standard with 10 takeaways against no turnovers.
Defensively, the Eagles have been outstanding at punching the ball out, a technique known as the Peanut Punch, named after longtime Bears cornerback Charles "Peanut" Tillman, who had 44 forced fumbles in his career.
"You had to have talented players to be able to do both because it is a skill to tackle and take the ball away," Sirianni said, giving a shoutout to Vice President of Football Technology Patrick Dolan for assembling a Peanut Punch tape to show the players. "The other thing that shows is the effort to the football."
