Team History
TheEagleshave won four NFL championships and one Super Bowl. Their previous titles came before the Super Bowl era (1948, 1949, 1960).
In 1978, theEaglespulled out an improbable win over the New York Giants after the Giants fumbled the football in the final seconds while attempting to run out the clock. The game was labeled “The Miracle at the Meadowlands,” and is credited with popularizing the “quarterback kneel” and the "victory formation."
TheEagleswon their first Super Bowl in 2018, defeating the New England Patriots, 41-33, in Super Bowl LII. Quarterback Nick Foles, playing in place of injured starter Carson Wentz, was named Super Bowl MVP.
